an analog phone line, or you cannot
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 the printer to
an analog phone line and try sending
or receiving a fax.

faxing, you can only receive faxes

on the same phone line with the
printer, check to make sure that the

phone line might be causing the test to
fail. You can disconnect all the other
devices and run the test again. If the
Dial Tone Detection Test passes, then
one or more of the other 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.
