    Why does the automatic document feeder pick up too many pages or none at all on my HP FAX 1250?
    • J
      John MartinezSep 18, 2025
      If the automatic document feeder picks up too many pages or none at all, the separator pad or rollers inside the automatic document feeder might need to be cleaned. Load one or two sheets of unused plain white full-size paper into the document feeder tray and press Start Black.

    What to do if I received a message on the display that the print cartridge alignment failed on my HP FAX 1250?
    • S
      sarah03Sep 12, 2025
      If you receive a message that the print cartridge alignment failed, it could be due to several reasons: * The incorrect type of paper is loaded. Load unused plain white letter or A4 paper into the input tray and try again. * Protective tape is covering the print cartridges. Check each print cartridge and remove any remaining tape. * The contacts on the print cartridge are not touching the contacts in the print carriage. Remove and reinsert the print cartridges, ensuring they are fully inserted and locked in place.

    Why does my HP FAX 1250 record fax tones on my answering machine?
    • R
      robinmarquezSep 9, 2025
      If fax tones are being recorded on your answering machine, and you have an answering machine on the same phone line you use for fax calls, try connecting the answering machine directly to the HP Fax. Also, make sure the HP Fax is set to receive faxes automatically and that the Rings to Answer setting is correct.

    • L

      If the display always shows 'Phone Off Hook', make sure you are using the phone cord that came with the HP Fax to connect the device to your phone line.

    What to do if my HP Fax Machine is having problems sending and receiving faxes?
    • T
      tatejoshuaAug 21, 2025
      If your HP Fax is having problems sending and receiving faxes, ensure the device is turned on. Also, verify that you are using the phone cord supplied in the box with the HP Fax to connect to the telephone wall jack. Other equipment using the same phone line, a noisy phone line connection, or the lack of a DSL filter (if you are using a digital subscriber line (DSL) service) could also be the cause. Additionally, using a phone splitter can cause faxing problems.
