  • OfficeJet Pro 8610 - error setting up Fax Wizard I don't use a proper phone cord

    I have a single line by Time Warner Cable telephone system that is a set which includes the cable TV, internet connection of road runner and digital phone. I use a system of wireless phone with a stand-alone answering machine which works very well.

    I'll just put up my new printer Officejet Pro 8610 and crossed the Fax Setup Wizard to use my voice single line telephone and fax system just as I did with my old HP Multifunction printer it replaces.

    Everything seemed to connect and to work very well when one had the Fax Wizard to perform the test at the end of the installation procedure. As a precaution, I ran the consecutive times to test with the answering machine turned on and turned off and twice he spent in all categories, and once it failed to indicate that the phone cord was not the right kind.

    I used the RJ11 cable supplied with the printer, but it wasn't enough long reach the phone in the wall jack that I connected an additional RJ11 cord so it would reach. So the two cords to have only 2 pods as they should.

    I am trying to determine why I get together and pass and fails with the same set up?  If I need one RJ11 telephone plug cord in the wall to the printer?  Or am I running a subsequent wizard test too soon after a previous?

    I would appreciate any comments or suggestions about the reason that I feel this inconsistency.

    Thank you

    Hi coollx,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your HP Officejet pro 8610 is indicating that you are using the wrong phone cord. I'm happy to help you with this problem of Fax!

    It is possible that what you need is a cord of unique phone from the telephone jack in the wall to the printer.

    I recommend to read these faxes guides:

    What type of telephone service you have? Analog or digital?

    Also make sure that your phone cord has only two wires.

  • 7520 fax connection prevents phone calls

    I have a Panasonic phone/digital answering machine put in place. The 7520 is a wireless connection.

    Fax HP wire is connected to the main phone BT which has of the basic unit of Panasonic. When I plugged just get a tone continued on the phone when you call so no calls are possible.

    "The fax test says ' NOT USING THE CORRECT TYPE OF PHONE CORD ' solution: use supplied cord - who I am!

    I can send and receive faxes.

    So the only solution I have now are ti offset and reconnect the telephone fax cable, which is a bit annoying!

    Any ideas please?

    Hi Brian-London, there.

    I noticed your message and want to touch base on this issue.

    By you mentioning "BT", I'm guessing that you are in the United Kingdom. If so, the connections should be connected somehow. I have a guide for you to watch in which different connection scenarios.

    Please consult this document: implementation of your fax to an analog to the United Kingdom

    I hope this helps you!

  • Phone cord 4632 Officejet printer

    I'm not sure that the power cord from the wall outlet at the rear of the printer seems like and therefore can not find mine.  The instructions say to use the 'phone cord supplied' or any phone cord will work just as well?

    Hi @clmcg ,

    I see by your post that you want to know what type of fax cable to use. I would like to help.

    For less interference, use a fax of 2 sons. You can use a 4-wire cable, but may have connection problems.

    Here is a picture of the cable 2 son.

    I hope this helps.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • Error "you do not use the Type of appropriate phone cord.

    Having a problem with my fax on my HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless.  Tried to send a fax, it received a transmission error.  I run fax test and she came back with "you do not use the type of appropriate phone cord.  Nothing has changed since I last fax would be but I check the lines and connections, everything seems ok.  Phone jack is connected to 1 line and Officejet 2 - ext"is connected to the phone.  I use a dedicated phone # and the Officejet is set to auto answer.   I can call and receive calls on the phone to connect to the Officejet.  My hypothesis is that because I can use the phone without problem there nothing wrong with the phone line.  Any ideas?

    I had the same problem.  I am using a phone cord 2-wire supplied with the printer and still get this error.  It turns out that it is bound to have a telephone connected to the printer.  If I unplug the telephone shape of the intake extension on the back of the printer, then the fax test passes.   I used even a cord 2-wire on the telephone, but it seems that the mere fact of having a phone plugged into the outlet of expansion will cause this error.

    Run the test without a phone plugged into the outlet of extension of the printer and you should be fine.

    Worked for me!

  • Photosmart 7525 Setup error: phone cord is connected to the wrong port, but is not

    I posted this to the Commission of scan/fax, but received no response.  I apologize if the permutation is against the rules.

    A post scriptum, is that the computer I used first the printer has Windows 8.

    I am installing a new HP Photosmart 7525e and tries to set up faxing.  I first used the existing phone cord connected to the wall jack that I had had my previous printer.  During Fax Setup Wizard, I get the error:

    Hi, sorry to hear the drawback on your printer printer e-all-in-one HP Photosmart 7525.  I am pleased that your unit is able to send and receive faxes.

    False failures occur, particularly in an environment of fax over IP, or when a device downstream such as a telephone or an answering machine is connected to the 2 - EXT printer port.
  • Cavio external HD Basics - need special cable?

    Hello

    I just got a brand-new Basics Canvio 500 GB, and, despite I have read on many questions about the USB connection and stability, I'll just say that after a few days, I meet no particular problem, but I have a question.

    I tried borrowed drive, next to the help of the supplied cable with it, also with:

    -A standard 'A to Micro-B' cable Superspeed
    -One standard USB 2.0 Type a microphone cable

    It's because I keep the same cable connected to my PC (which has currently only USB 2.1 connections) and use it to different USB devices.

    Now, the Toshiba drive is having problems with both of them (intermittent loss of connection, slow/jerkyness data transfer and so forth).
    A Western Digital external hard drive works perfectly with the two cables mentioned above, next to his own.

    So, the question is, the Canvio Basics needs special cables to work properly and, if so, if I need a replacement, where can I find a cable that is certified to work correctly with him or is totally compatible anyway?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Mario

    The answer found myself... After about a month the HD's * very * slowly.

    Keep the CAP pulled upwards or downwards made increases responsiveness and many disk, but of course this is not an option... so, I guess I've fallen in the infamous master default known HD, different cables, I tried data transfer are not guilty.

    Very sad... it is a product with very evil genius, apparently. About 70 euros ready for the trash. I really feel scammed.

    Not here anymore Toshibas, WD here I come...
