- Disconnect all other equipment from the phone line and run the test again. If it passes, add the equipment back one piece at a time and rerun the test each time to find the piece that causes the failure.
- Connect a working phone and phone cord to the wall jack you use for the printer and check for a dial tone. If you hear no dial tone, ask your telephone company to check the line.
- Connect one end of the phone cord to the telephone wall jack and the other end to the fax port on the back of the printer.
- If you use a phone splitter, remove it and connect the printer directly to the telephone wall jack.
- On a telephone system with a nonstandard dial tone, such as some PBX systems, the test can fail without affecting faxing. Try to send or receive a test fax.
- Check that the country/region setting is correct for your country/region.
- Connect the printer to an analog phone line. If a regular analog phone on the line gives no normal dial tone, the line might be set up for digital phones.
Qualified technician If the test keeps failing, contact your telephone company to check the phone line.
