C7180 can't send or receive fax? this worked a

Hello,

This is probably an issue for the receiving fax. Try this:

1. Find a piece of paper and write fairly large:
Call me if you get this
Your name
Your phone number

2. Send this to a different fax machine at a different company and location. If it works, then attempt to send it to the same fax you initially attempted.
- If it works then your document may be too large and you will have to send it over a couple pages (or less at a time).
- If it doesn't work then there is a compatibility issue with either your or the receiving end fax machine. You will have to find an alternative fax number to a different model fax machine. Don't expect the company on the other end to just change out their fax machine but they may have another model at a different phone number.

Another alternative - you can attempt to scan your documents and send them by email but check with your and the receiving destination security departments.

Best wishes,
Joe

Make sure you cartridges are not empty and properly installed. Also make sure the paper is properly installed.

If you are not hearing dialogue, then check your center speaker. Most voice tracks are routed to the center channel

Hello there, Suggest you confirm the phone line (The one going to the wall...) is plugged into the phone line port labeled -1-Line- and not -2-Ext- 1-Line is the outer most one of the two on the back of the machine.

If it's in the wrong port the device to act in the manner you discribed.

Thumbs Up!

Hello Dear,

The error message 242 appears in HP Photomart C7180, when the remote machine (the fax machine at Fax Sender side), is having problem, and it is trying to receive fax instead of sending. So actually both these machines try to receive the fax at the same time.
On many fax machines it is possible to accediently initiate the fax reception when:
1. The paper is not loaded in the machine
2. Or The paper is not correctly loaded.

You may contact the fax sender to check the above things. There is absolutely no problem with machine at your end.

Thanks

make a copy to check the operation of the send unit. Somebody may have loaded their fax upside down when sending.

It would seem that your default 'printer' is set to fax and not print.
When you select print from the file menu it probably says something like HP Photosmart C7180 Fax in the printer option. If it does, go into the printer section from the control panel and make the C7180 (without the fax reference) the default (right click>set as default)

Is this fax line shared with the phone? I believe there is a distictive ring setting in the add'l functions area under communication settings then receive settings. you would need to select a ring pattern different so the fax can tell between which types of calls it is receiving.

It has worked for me in serveral other installs

Hope this helps
