If the supplied phone cord is not long enough, you can extend it. For
information see

The phone cord that came with my HP All-in-One is not long

enough

Check the connection between the telephone wall jack and the HP All-in-One
to make sure the phone cord is secure.

The "Dial Tone Detection" test failed

Solution

Other equipment, which uses the same phone line as the HP All-in-One,
might be causing the test to fail. To find out if other equipment is causing a
problem, disconnect everything from the phone line, and then run the test
again. If the

Dial Tone Detection Test

passes without the other equipment,

then one or more pieces of the equipment is causing problems; try adding
them back one at a time and rerunning the test each time, until you identify
which piece of equipment is causing the problem.

Try connecting a working phone and phone cord to the telephone wall jack
that you are using for the HP All-in-One and check for a dial tone. If you do
not hear a dial tone, contact your telephone company and have them check
the line.

Make sure you have correctly connected the HP All-in-One to the telephone
wall jack. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with your HP All-in-One,
connect one end to your telephone wall jack, then connect the other end to
the port labeled "1-LINE" on the back of your HP All-in-One. For more
information on setting up your HP All-in-One for faxing, see

Fax setup

.

If you are using a phone splitter, this can cause faxing problems. (A splitter is
a two-cord connector that plugs into a telephone wall jack.) Try removing the
splitter and connecting the HP All-in-One directly to the telephone wall jack.

If your telephone system is not using a standard dial tone, such as some
PBX systems, this might cause the test to fail. This will not cause a problem
sending or receiving faxes. Try sending or receiving a test fax.

Check to make sure the country/region setting is set appropriately for your
country/region. If the country/region setting is not set or is set incorrectly, the
test might fail and you might have problems sending and receiving faxes. For
more information, see

Set your language and country/region

.

Make sure you connect your HP All-in-One to an analog phone line or you
will not be able to send or receive faxes. To check if your phone line is
digital, connect a regular analog phone to the line and listen for a dial tone. If
you do not hear a normal sounding dial tone, it might be a phone line set up
for digital phones. Connect your HP All-in-One to an analog phone line and
try sending or receiving a fax.

After you resolve any problems found, run the fax test again to make sure it
passes and your HP All-in-One is ready for faxing. If the

Dial Tone Detection

test continues to fail, contact your telephone company and have them check the
phone line.
