Are you using a telephone-line splitter?

A telephone-line splitter is a device used to split two or more telephone lines from the same
jack. Confusion can result from the existence of two different kinds of splitters. Parallel
splitters (also called "T" splitters) split a single line into two equal jacks, allowing two devices
to be plugged into the same line.
Line1/Line 2 splitters provide two unique telephone line outlets from a single jack with two
unique telephone numbers (two telephone lines are connected to a single jack). A Line1/
Line2 splitter must be used if you have a fax line and a voice line that are controlled by the
same jack. See
instructions.
Not all splitters are compatible with the device, and not all regions/countries support the use
of splitters.
Hewlett-Packard does not recommend using parallel, or "T", splitters with the device,
Note
because they can degrade the quality of the telephone signal. If you need to attach a
second device to the telephone line along with the device, plug the second device into the
device "telephone" port (the port that is marked with a telephone icon). See
additional devices

Are you using a surge-protection device?

This is a device that is used between the jack in the wall and the device to protect the
device against electrical power that passes through the telephone lines. These can cause
some fax communication problems by degrading the quality of the telephone signal. If you
are having problems sending or receiving faxes and are using one of these devices,
connect the device directly to the telephone jack to determine if the problem is with the
surge-protection device.

Are you using a telephone company voice-messaging service?

A voice-messaging service can be used to replace telephone-answering devices. If the
messaging service rings-to-answer setting is lower than the device rings-to-answer setting,
the messaging service answers the call and the device is not able to receive faxes. If the
device rings-to-answer setting is lower than that of the messaging service, the device
answers all of the calls and no call is ever routed to the messaging service. The only voice-
messaging solution that can be used successfully with the device is a standalone telephone-
answering machine.

Are you using an answering machine?

An answering machine should be connected directly to the port that is labeled with the
telephone icon, or it should be shared on the same telephone-line extension.
Set the device rings-to-answer setting for at least one ring more than the number of rings for
which the answering machine is set. See
information.
If an answering machine is connected to the same telephone line but on a different jack (in
Note
another room, for example), it might interfere with the device's ability to receive faxes.
