possible cause and solution
• Make sure you connected the HP Fax from the port labeled
"1-LINE" to your telephone wall jack using the phone cord
supplied in the box with your HP
different from the more common 4-wire cords you might already
have in your office. Check the end of the cord and compare it to
the two types of cords shown below:

This possible cause/solution applies only in the countries/regions that
receive a 2-wire phone cord in the box with the
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Greece,
India, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latin America, Malaysia, Mexico,
Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain,
Taiwan, Thailand, USA, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
If you used a 4-wire cord, disconnect it, find the supplied 2-wire
cord, and then connect the 2-wire cord to the HP Fax (at the port
labeled "1-LINE"). For more information on how to connect this
cord, see fax setup
Note:
If the 2-wire cord is not long enough and you need to extend
it, you might want to purchase an in-line coupler and use a 4-wire
cord to increase the length. The type of coupler you would need
allows you to connect a 2-wire cord at one end, and a 4-wire cord
at the other. Attach the 2-wire cord from the "1-LINE" port of the
HP Fax to one side of the coupler; then attach a 4-wire cord from
the opposite side of the coupler to the telephone wall jack.
