Test fax setup
You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for faxing.
Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. The test does the following:

●
Veries the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer
●
Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port
●
Checks for a dial tone
●
Checks for an active phone line

The printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on
how to x the problem and rerun the test.
