Go to menu option and choose the option fax and set the parameter like auto receive or manual set the ring auto answer mode after certain ring. If it is in auto receiving mode it will receive the fax after the ring which you set. Make sure the phone wire which you insert in fax machine getting proper dial tone and getting out going calling facility.
Have a nice day and do not forget to rate please...!

yep the best way anymore is throught a usb port

Hi. The fax-module in lj 3055 needs a 100% analog dial tone. You might get it working on a internet-phone-line, but HP garantees nothing because there are so many internet-phone-providers, and all of them operates with different specs and line-quality. You might try to lower the baud rate, turn off JBIG compession and error-correction. If the problem still remains, you need to replace your phone-line to a 100% analog line. Not any internet or ISDN/adapter-stuff. You should test your fax on any analog line at a friends house, just to make sure the fax i working anway.

re-install your 3055. check for the manual on HP website. download it.
plus you may need a filter on your phone...fax boards are very sensitive to online static.

use the print menus option in information, it should show the menu path settings

You can not send faxes thru the internet unless you use a service such as E-Fax.
Faxes usually are sent via phone lines only.
If you are asking anything else then you have to be more precise in your question as it is not exactly clear as to what you are asking!

Good Luck!

Same problem here - I got it work:

The only thing that I can think of for you to do is to completly delete it from your computer & then re-download it. Only do this if you get no other resolution. Or you can call 1-800-474-7739 for hp technical support. I just did & they were a great help to me!
