Why does the display always show 'Phone Off Hook' on my HP Fax Machine?
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.
Why does my HP FAX 1250 record fax tones on my answering machine?
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.
What to do if I received a message on the display to attach the control panel faceplate on my HP Fax Machine?
If you receive a message to attach the control panel faceplate, make sure to align the faceplate over the buttons on the top of the HP Fax and snap it firmly into place.
