Setting Function Parameters to Solve Communication Problems on the HP FAX-900 and
FAX-950
Communication problems are announced by information codes in the 400 to 500 range. For basic problems with the
telephone line (unable to dial a station or not answering, for example), consult the User’s Guide for the HP FAX-900
and FAX-950.
Table 5-5 shows the function parameters to adjust for specific communication problems in the HP FAX-900 and
FAX-950. Adjust both the transmitting and receiving fax machines for best results. If the adjustments do not improve
the line quality, set the function parameters of both machines back to the default settings.
