1Setup
The HP LaserJet MFP Analog Fax Accessory 300 enables the HP multifunction product (MFP) to
function as a standalone analog fax machine.
This guide describes the fax functions of this product in the following sections:
●Parts included with the fax accessory
●Verifying fax operation
●Required fax settings
In addition, this guide provides information on product specifications and regulatory information.
NOTE: In addition to the analog fax feature, the MFP also supports LAN faxing. LAN faxing is managed
by the HP MFP Digital Sending Software Configuration Utility which is a separate product and is not
covered in this document. For information about LAN faxing, see the HP MFP Digital Sending Software
User Guide or the HP MFP Digital Sending Software Support Guide. If both the analog fax accessory
and the LAN fax are installed, only one fax can be enabled at a time.
You should save this guide so that you can refer back to instructions on specific fax features.
NOTE: If the MFP came with the fax accessory installed, you need to remove the fax connection cover,
connect the phone cord, and then perform the initial fax configuration that is also described in this
chapter. The fax connection cover is located on the phone connector on the formatter rear panel.
ENWW 1
Parts included with the fax accessory
The following components are included with the fax accessory:
●Fax guide (this document) (on CD)
●Send Fax Driver and Send Fax Driver Guide (on CD)
●Phone cord(s) (cords vary depending on the country/region)
NOTE: The Send Fax Driver allows a user to send a fax directly from their PC to a network connected
MFP. Installation of this driver is optional. (See Send Fax Driver Guide on the CD for further
instructions).
2 Chapter 1 Setup ENWW
Verifying fax operation
When the fax accessory is installed and operating correctly, the fax icon displays on the MFP control
panel. If the fax accessory has just been installed but has not been configured, the fax icon is grayed-
out and (depending on the MFP model) may have Not Configured written across it. If this occurs, the
fax accessory needs to be configured, see Required fax settings on page 4.
ENWW Verifying fax operation 3
Required fax settings
NOTE: A Fax Configuration Wizard is available to guide you through the steps to make the required
fax settings. For more information, see Fax Configuration Wizard on page 4.
After the fax accessory is installed, you must configure certain settings before you can use the
accessory. If these settings are not configured, the fax icon is grayed-out. These settings include:
●Date and time
●Location (country/region)
●Fax header (phone number and company name)
This information is used in the fax header, which is printed on all outgoing faxes.
NOTE: When first installed, the fax accessory might read some of these settings from the MFP;
therefore, a value may already be set. You should check the values to verify that they are set and correct.
NOTE: In the U.S. and many other countries/regions, setting the date, time, location, phone number,
and company name is a legal requirement for fax.
Fax Configuration Wizard
The Fax Configuration Wizard guides users through a step-by-step procedure to configure fax settings
that are required to use the fax feature. If the settings are not configured, the fax feature is disabled.
The following is a list of fax settings that are configured using the wizard:
●Location (country/region)
●Fax phone number
●Company name
This information is used in the fax header, which is printed on all outgoing faxes.
The wizard starts when the device is turned on. You can choose to use the wizard or exit the wizard to
configure the settings at a later date.
NOTE: The settings configured using the wizard on the control panel override any settings made in
the embedded Web server.
Accessing fax settings menu
The required fax settings are set by accessing the appropriate menu for your MFP.
NOTE: If the fax menu settings do not appear in the menu listing, LAN fax may be enabled. When
LAN fax is enabled, the analog fax accessory is disabled and the fax menu does not display. Only one
fax feature, either LAN fax or analog fax, can be enabled at a time. The fax icon displays for either fax
feature. If you wish to use analog fax when LAN fax is enabled, use the HP MFP Digital Sending Software
Configuration Utility to disable LAN fax.
Set or verify the date and time
The date and time setting for the fax accessory is the same value as the MFP date and time setting. If
this is the first time you are powering up the MFP, you will prompted for this information.

Send a fax
To send a fax, you can use one of three basic methods to enter numbers:
●Enter number(s) manually.
●Enter number(s) using speed dial.
●Enter number(s) using the phone book (available only if HP MFP Digital Sending Software
Configuration Utility is installed and the phone book has been populated).
NOTE: For online information about sending a fax, touch ? on the screen to access the help menu,
and then touch Send a fax under the list of help topics.
When entering a phone number from the numeric keypad, include any pauses or other numbers, such
as area codes, access codes for numbers outside a PBX system (usually a 9 or 0), or a long-distance
prefix. A two second pause may be included by typing a comma (,). If the fax prefix setting has been
set to automatically include the dialing prefix, you will not need to enter it.
NOTE: When a fax is sent, it is first scanned and stored into memory. After the entire document is
stored, it is sent and then deleted from memory. Faxes that fail to send, because the number was busy
or did not answer, are deleted from memory. If Redial-On-Busy or Redial-On-No-Answer are set, the
fax will not be deleted until all retries fail or the fax is sent successfully.

Voice Calls and Retries
Voice calls are not included in the Fax Activity log and do not generate a T.30 report. The following
sections provide information on retries of a fax job.
Fax Call Report
When all fax attempts have been exhausted, a Fax Call Report will be printed for a fax send. It shows
the fax job log ID. The result of the final attempt is printed on the Fax Call Report.
A Fax Call Report does not print for voice calls.
NOTE: A Fax Call Report only generates Job numbers for final attempts. If one of these reports is
printed manually from the menu and the last call was neither the final attempt nor a Voice call the Job
number will be zero.
Fax Activity Log
Voice Calls are not included in the Fax Activity Log by default. Only the final attempt will be displayed
in the Fax Activity Log.
T.30 Report
Voice Calls will not cause a T.30 report to print. All retry attempts will cause a T.30 report to print.
ENWW Voice Calls and Retries 39
Secure settings
Two settings, fax forwarding and fax printing, are secure features and require a PIN. The first time you
access either setting, you will be required to create a PIN. After you create that PIN, it is used to access
both features. That is, if a PIN that has been created for fax forwarding it is also used to access fax
printing, or if the PIN was first created for fax printing, it must be used to access fax forwarding. Only
one PIN can be created to access these secure settings.
If fax call report is enabled with thumbnails, a report prints with a thumbnail of the first page of the fax
when fax printing or fax forwarding is enabled. If you want secure fax printing, disable printing the
thumbnail on the fax call report.

Scheduling fax printing (memory lock)
Use the fax printing feature to specify when faxes print. There are three fax printing modes that can be
selected. The selections are Store all received faxes, Print all received faxes, or Use fax printing
schedule.
If Store all received faxes is selected, then all incoming faxes will be stored in memory and not printed.
It is possible to access fax jobs stored in memory through the MFP Retrieve Job menu. Using this menu,
you can print or delete print jobs while they are stored in memory. For additional information about this
feature, see the Retrieve Job menu description in the MFP user guide.
NOTE: Retrieved stored faxes can be accessed by entering the Fax Printing menu and changing the
mode to Print all received faxes.
If Print all received faxes is selected, then all incoming faxes will be printed. Any faxes that are currently
stored in memory will also be printed.
If Use fax printing schedule is selected, then faxes will be only printed per the fax printing schedule. The
fax printing schedule can be set to lockout an entire day (24 hours) or lockout a time period during the
day. Only one lockout period can be set, but it can be applied to any number of days. The lockout period
is setup under the Fax Printing menu. For more information, see Create a fax printing schedule
on page 43.
NOTE: When the lockout time ends, any faxes that were received and stored during the lockout period
are printed automatically.

Using Fax over VoIP networks
VoIP technology converts the analog phone signal into digital bits. These are then assembled into
packets which travel on the Internet. The packets are converted and transmitted back to analog signals
at or near the destination.
The transmission of the information on the Internet is done digitally instead of analog. Therefore, there
are different constraints on the fax transmission that may require different fax settings than the analog
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Fax is very dependent upon timing and signal quality, so
a fax transmission is more sensitive to a VoIP environment.
The following are suggested changes in settings for the Analog Fax Accessory 300 when it is connected
to a VoIP service:
●Start off with the fax set in V.34 mode and with Error Correction Mode (ECM) turned on. The V.34
protocol handles any changes in transmission speed needed to accommodate VoIP networks.
●If numerous errors or retries occur with the unit set to V.34, set V.34 Off and set Maximum Baud
Rate to 14,400 bps.
●If errors and retries persist, set a lower fax speed as some VoIP systems cannot handle the higher
signal rates associated with fax. Set the Maximum Baud Rate to 9,600 bps.
●In rare cases, if errors persist, turn off ECM on the product. The image quality might decrease.
Ensure that the image quality is acceptable with ECM off before using this setting.
●If the preceding setting changes have not improved the VoIP fax reliability, contact your VoIP
provider for help.

4 Solve fax problems
Use the information in this chapter to troubleshoot general fax issues.
Before you can use your fax accessory, you must complete the following tasks:
●Select a location
●Set the date, time, and fax header
When the fax accessory is installed for the first time, the settings must be entered manually by the
administrator through the menus, or the fax configuration wizard at initial power up.
NOTE: In the U.S. and many other countries/regions, setting the date, time, and other fax header
information is a legal requirement.
ENWW 47
Is your fax set up correctly?
Use the following checklist to help identify the cause of any fax related problems you are encountering:
●Are you using the phone cord supplied with the fax accessory? This fax accessory has been
tested with the supplied phone cord to meet RJ11 specifications. Do not substitute another phone
cord; the analog-fax accessory requires an analog phone cord. It also requires an analog phone
connection.
●Is the fax/phone line connector seated in the socket on the fax accessory? Make sure that
the phone jack is well seated in the socket. The connector should be inserted into the socket until
it "clicks."
●Is the phone wall jack working properly? Verify that a dial tone exists by attaching a phone to
the wall jack. Can you hear a dial tone, and can you make a phone call?
What type of phone line are you using?
●Dedicated line: A standard fax/phone number assigned to receive or send faxes.
NOTE: The phone line should be for mfp fax use only and not shared with other types of telephone
devices. Examples include alarm systems that use the phone line for notifications to a monitoring
companies.
●PBX system: A business-environment phone system. Standard home phones and the fax
accessory use an analog phone signal. Some PBX systems are digital and might not be compatible
with the fax accessory. You need to have access to a standard analog phone line to be able to
send and receive faxes.
●Roll-over lines: A phone system feature where a new call "rolls over" to the next available line
when the first incoming line is busy. Try attaching the fax accessory to the first incoming phone
line. The fax accessory will answer the phone after it rings the number of times set in the rings-to-
answer setting.
NOTE: Roll-over lines can cause problems with the fax accessory's ability to receive faxes. Using roll-
over lines with this product is not recommended.
Are you using a surge-protection device?
A surge-protection device can be used between the wall jack and the fax accessory to protect the fax
accessory against electrical power passed through the phone lines. These devices can cause some fax
communication problems by degrading the quality of the phone signal. If you are having problems
sending or receiving faxes and are using one of these devices, connect the fax accessory directly to the
phone jack on the wall to determine whether the problem is with the surge-protection device.
Are you using a phone company voice-messaging service or an answering
machine?
If the rings-to-answer setting for the messaging service is lower than the rings-to-answer setting for the
fax accessory, the messaging service answers the call, and the fax accessory is not able to receive
faxes. If the rings-to-answer setting for the fax accessory is lower than that of the messaging service,
the fax accessory answers all calls, and no calls are routed to the messaging service.

ENWW General fax problems 51
Receiving fax problems
Use the table in this section to solve problems that might occur when receiving faxes.
Incoming fax calls are not being answered by the fax accessory (no fax detected).
Cause Solution
The rings-to-answer setting might not be set correctly. Check the rings-to-answer setting.
The phone cord might not be connected properly, or the phone
cord is not working.
Check the installation. Make sure you are using the phone cord
that came with the fax accessory.
The phone line might not be working. Disconnect the fax accessory from the phone jack, and
connect a phone. Try to make a phone call to ensure the phone
line is working.
A voice-messaging service might be interfering with the fax
accessory's ability to answer calls.
Do one of the following:
●Discontinue the messaging service.
●Get a phone line dedicated to fax calls.
●Decrease the rings-to-answer for the fax accessory to a
number less than the rings-to-answer for the voice mail.
Faxes are transmitting or being received very slowly.
Cause Solution
You might be sending or receiving a very complex fax, such as
one with many graphics.
Complex faxes take longer to be sent or received.
The receiving fax machine might have a slow modem speed. The fax accessory only sends the fax at the fastest modem
speed the receiving fax machine can use.
Faxes are transmitting or being received very slowly (continued).
Cause Solution
The resolution at which the fax was sent or is being received
is very high. A higher resolution typically results in better
quality, but also requires a longer transmission time.
If you are receiving the fax, call and ask the sender to decrease
the resolution and resend the fax. If you are sending, decrease
the resolution and change the Page Content mode setting
described under Send a fax - enter number(s) manually
on page 29.
If there is a poor phone-line connection, the fax accessory and
the receiving fax machine slow down the transmission to adjust
for errors.
Cancel and resend the fax. Have the phone company check
the phone line.
Faxes are not printing on the MFP.
Cause Solution
There is no media in the media input tray. Load media. Any faxes received while the input tray is empty
are stored and will print after the tray has been refilled.
52 Chapter 4 Solve fax problems ENWW
Faxes are not printing on the MFP.
Cause Solution
Schedule Printing of Faxes is set. If Schedule Printing of Faxes is enabled, faxes will not print
until it is disabled. If you want to print your faxes, see Enable
or disable the schedule for printing of faxes on page 42.
The MFP is either low on toner or has run out of toner. The MFP stops printing as soon as it is low on toner or runs
out of toner. Any faxes received are stored in memory and print
after the toner has been replaced. For other MFP printing
problems, see the MFP user guide.
Incoming call may be a voice call. Incoming voice calls usually show up in the call report as a
Communication Error (17) As these are voice calls and not
a fax error, no action is needed to be taken. Ensure that those
calling you have a voice number that is different from the fax
number.
ENWW Receiving fax problems 53
Sending fax problems
Use the table in this section to solve problems that might occur when sending faxes.
Problem Cause Solution
Faxes quit during sending. The fax machine to which you are
sending might be malfunctioning.
Try sending to another fax machine.
Your phone line might not be working. Disconnect the fax accessory from the
phone jack, and connect a phone. Try to
make a phone call to ensure the phone
line is working.
Your phone line might be noisy or poor
quality
Try using a lower baud rate to improve
the reliability of transmission. See
maximum baud rate setting.
The fax accessory is receiving faxes
but is not sending them.
If the fax accessory is on a PBX system,
the PBX system might be generating a
dial tone the fax accessory cannot
detect.
Disable the detect dial tone setting.
There might be a poor phone connection. Try again later.
The fax machine to which you are
sending might be malfunctioning.
Try sending to another fax machine.
Your phone line might not be working. Disconnect the fax accessory from the
phone jack, and connect a phone. Try to
make a phone call to ensure the phone
line is working.
Outgoing fax calls keep dialing. The fax accessory automatically redials
a fax number if the Redial on Busy option
is set to on or if the Redial On No Answer
is set on.
This is normal operation. If you do not
want the fax to retry, set Redial on Busy
to 0 and set Redial On No Answer to 0.
Faxes you send are not arriving at the
receiving fax machine.
The receiving fax machine might be
turned off or might have an error
condition, such as being out of paper.
Call the recipient to make sure the fax
machine is turned on and ready to
receive faxes.
A fax might be in memory because it is
waiting to redial a busy number, or there
are other jobs ahead of it waiting to be
sent.
If a fax job is in memory for either of these
reasons, an entry for the job appears in
the fax log. Print the fax activity log, and
check the Result column for jobs with a
Pending designation.
54 Chapter 4 Solve fax problems ENWW
Error codes
If a fax problem occurs which prevents or interrupts sending or receiving of a fax, an error code is
generated that will help in determining the cause of the problem. Error codes show up in the fax activity
log, the fax call report, and the T.30 Protocol Trace (see Service settings on page 63). Print one of
these three reports to obtain the error code. A detailed description of the error codes and the appropriate
action can be found at http://www.hp.com by searching for the Q3701A or HP LaserJet MFP Analog
Fax Accessory 300.
ENWW Error codes 55
Fax error messages
When an analog fax is sent or received on a LaserJet MFP, any errors that occur during the fax process
will be displayed on the MFP control panel and entered into the fax reports. Fax errors can occur for
many reasons and often they are due to interruptions or noise on the telephone connection. Any error
that takes place during the fax process regardless of where it originates will be displayed by the MFP.
If the fax process is interrupted or an error occurs during a fax transmission or reception, a two part
status/error description is generated by the fax subsystem on the MFP. Normal or successful faxes also
generate messages indicating success. The message information consists of a text description and a
numeric code (a few messages don’t include numeric codes). Only the text part of the message will be
displayed on the MFP control panel; however, both the text message and numeric code will be listed in
the Fax Activity Report, Fax Call Report, and the Fax T.30 Trace (these fax reports can be printed out
individually from the MFP control panel – under the Administration > Information and
Administration > Troubleshooting menus). The numeric code is shown in parentheses after the text
part of the message in the reports. For example, if a communication error occurred, the control panel
display would show Fax Failed: Communication Error. The same error would be shown in the Result
field in the Fax Activity Report as Communication Error (17). For this example, the numeric code
associated with this communication error is ‘17’.
The numeric code is generated by the fax modem. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates a normal
modem response. Some messages will always display a numeric code of (0), whereas other messages
can have a range of numeric codes depending on the circumstances, and a few messages will have no
numeric code. Usually a numeric code of (0) indicates an error was not associated with the fax modem,
but occurred in another part of the fax subsystem. Non-zero error codes give further detail into the
particular action or process that the modem is executing, and they don’t necessarily indicate that there
is a problem with the modem.
In the Send-fax messages on page 57 and Receive-fax messages on page 58 tables, the fax
messages with the most common number codes are given with recommended corrective action. Several
messages that are normal or indicate a normal event are also included in tables. For example, if a fax
was not able to be sent to a busy number, a Fail Busy message will be shown. Nothing is wrong with
the fax subsystem; the message indicates the fax was not completed due to a busy telephone number
at the receiving end. Further troubleshooting information is available in the HP MFP Analog Fax 300
User Guide (available at http://www.hp.com/go/mfpfaxaccessory300).
Persistent error messages with numeric codes different than those listed here require assistance of
customer support. A more detailed listing of the last fax call can be printed out before contacting
customer support to help identify the problem. The detailed fax listing is called a Fax T.30 Trace and
can be printed for the last fax, or it can be set to print whenever a fax error occurs. To print or configure
the Fax T.30 Trace, press Administration, Troubleshooting, and then Fax T.30 Trace. You can then
print the report for the last fax or configure when to print the T.30 trace.

T.30 Trace: The T.30 trace is a printed report which produces a record of all the communications
between the sending and receiving fax machines for the last Fax transmission or reception. The report
has many technical details which are usually beyond the scope of most users. However the report
contains detailed error codes and other information that might be useful in troubleshooting a particular
problem related to sending or receiving a FAX. The report contents might be requested by an HP service
representative when trying to determine the cause of a problem and will help to determine the
appropriate action. (For error code information, see Error codes on page 55.)
Restore Factory Telecom Settings or Restore Default Telecom Settings: This selection resets several
menu changes back to their default settings. This includes the maximum baud rate, ring-burst off time,
V.34, speaker mode, and transmit signal loss.
Transmit Signal Loss: This selection compensates for phone line signal loss. It is not recommended to
modify this setting unless requested to do so by an HP service representative as it might render the fax
inoperable.
V.34: This setting has two values (Normal and Off) that control the modem's baud rate. The Normal
setting allows the modem to select (negotiate with the other modem) any of the supported baud rates
up to 33,600 bps. The Off setting sets the baud rate to 14,400 bps. This setting remains set, until
changed.
Maximum baud rate: This setting is similar to V.34 but provides a list of baud rates to select for operation.
If the fax is having communication errors, use this setting to select slower baud rates to determine if the
communication error is caused by the phone line. Once this setting is set, it remains set until changed.
Speaker mode: This service setting has two modes, Normal and Diagnostic. In Normal mode, the
modem speaker is turned on during dialing through the initial connection and then shuts off. For
Diagnostic mode, the speaker is turned on and remains on for all fax communications until the setting
is returned to Normal.
Ring interval or Ring-burst off time: This setting is used to adjust for some PBX ring signals. Use this
setting when directed by an HP technical support agent.

of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination
on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum
of the ringer equivalence numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
Notice: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational, and safety requirements.
The Industry Canada label does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities
of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable
method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may
not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be made
by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment or equipment malfunctions may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
Notice: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
identification of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface.

Regulatory information for EU countries/regions
This equipment has been designed to work in all countries/regions of the European Economic Area
(Public Switched Telephone Networks). Network compatibility is dependent on internal software
settings. Contact your equipment supplier if it is necessary to use the equipment on a different telephone
network. For further product support, contact Hewlett-Packard at the phone numbers provided in the

New Zealand Telecom Warning Notice
1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has
accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates
no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it
provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of
Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is
compatible with all of Telecom's network services.
This equipment is not capable under all operating conditions of correct operation at the higher
speed which it is designated. 33.6 kbps and 56 kbps connections are likely to be restricted to lower
bit rates when connected to some PSTN implementations. Telecom will accept no responsibility
should difficulties arise in such circumstances.
2. Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, and arrange for its
disposal or repair.
3. This modem shall not be used in any manner, which could constitute a nuisance to other Telecom
customers.
4. This device is equipped with pulse dialing, while the Telecom standard is DTMF tone dialing. There
is no guarantee that Telecom lines will always continue to support pulse dialing.
Use of pulse dialing, when this equipment is connected to the same line as other equipment, may
give rise to 'bell tinkle' or noise and may also cause a false answer condition. Should such problems
occur, the user should not contact the Telecom Faults Service.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones, as this is faster than pulse (decadic) dialing
and is readily available on almost all New Zealand telephone exchanges.
5. Warning Notice: No '111' or other calls can be made from this device during a mains power failure.
6. This equipment may not provide for the effective hand-over of a call to another device connected
to the same line.
