Test fax setup
You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for
faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. The test does the
following:
●
Tests the fax hardware
●
Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer
●
Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port
●
Checks for a dial tone
●
Checks for an active phone line
●
Tests the status of your phone line connection
The printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information
on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.
