Try to send or receive a test fax. If you can send or receive a fax successfully, there might not be
a problem.
If you are running the test from the Fax Setup Wizard (Windows) or HP Utility (OS X), make sure the
printer is not busy completing another task, such as receiving a fax or making a copy. Check the display
for a message indicating that the printer is busy. If it is busy, wait until it is nished and in the idle state
before running the test.
If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is a two-cord connector that

After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it passes and the printer is ready
for faxing. If the Fax Hardware Test continues to fail and you experience problems faxing, contact HP
support. Go to www.support.hp.com . This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct
many common printer problems. If prompted, select your country/region, and then click All HP Contacts for
