Hp j6400 fax over voip line error code 388

You can start by making sure that the photocopy is working, this is to ensure that the scanner is working. Next, try to isolate the issue if this is only happening to only one fax number? If all of these have negative results, I suggest for a hardware reset. Follow the steps for reset found here, How to Reset the HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer. Goodluck :)

Error Code: 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395Definition
There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time.
Solution
Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.

Hi There,

HP All in One Error 388 is a FAX transmission error code that means the Fax software has encountered too much noise on the telephone line to talk to its destination. It's not a problem with your printer. The solution is to wait until line traffic noise subsides (try again later).

If you're not trying to send a fax then your software installation may be flawed in some way and uninstaling and reinstalling the printer would likely resolve the issue.

Best Regards.

True. ALL fax machines are analog devices. Internet phone lines are DIGITAL.

There is no way to make it fax reliably.

there is not error code for the OfficeJet 4315. however, there are similar code for other Hp printer.
error "388" is lised as unable to detect T30 frames. in other words, the machine fail to establish comparable connection. this can be the machine trying to send out fax in high speed, or the phone line problem.
consult the user manul how to set a lower transmission rate, or try to send the fax at a differnt time of the day . If that still give you problem, please call the phone company and have they look a the phone line.

Error 388 is for telephone line conditions being bad, have you called your telephone company and head you telephone line checked...?
If not please have it checked.

Good Luck

keep the window closed ok? that's more along the lines of the phone issues, than the fax machine itself..there are many ways to outwit the phone tree issues, but each number would need to be encoded directly.

solution?

get a dedicated inexpensive fax machine, or use efax.com
