I cannot receive faxes on my installed HP4630 printer.

My printer is installed and the copy and printer work perfectly, however I am unable to receive faxes. Please advise.

  • Cannot receive faxes after upgrading to 10.5.8

    Since upgrading, I cannot receive faxes on either powerbook. Sending works fine.

    I too am having this problem under 10.5.8
    Apple would appear to not know about it because they will only provide help under a warranty, Applecare or on an incident subscription basis.
    Forget the Apple help documentaion. It just suggests that you reinstall the System software. That doe not help. Been there, done that. Further documentation suggests contacting Smith Micro, the purveyors of Fax Stf. They had me look in the Applications folder to see if FaxStf was lurking there. It is not. SM say the last time that they supplied Fax software was as part of Jaguar.
    You can purchase Stf from Smith Micro for $49.00 $20.00 if you have a registered earlier version. That would have the benefit of tech support and full fax controlling options. smithmicro.com

    Did the fax test pass?
    What type of connection do you have? (Analogue, DSL, Cable Modem)
    Are you using a filter?
    Are you using the 2 wire fax cable?
    Do you have distinctive ring set up on the line?
    Is there any voice mail set up?
    Do you have a answering machine? (Where is it connected to)
    Where is the fax cable connected to? (modem, wall jack)
    Is there a phone also connected the printer?
    Have a nice day!

  • Able to send fax, but cannot receive fax... I have a HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m fax

    Officejet 4500 G510g-m (fax)... I am able to send faxes out without a hitch, but cannot receive... When someone is trying to send me a fax, the machine rings and I can view the fax number but nothing comes thru ... I also made sure that "my device" had the correct device checked... any suggestions

    Hello @Gibbs715, 
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I  understand that you are having a problem receiving faxes.
    I would like to help.
    Double check that the 'Auto Answer' is turned on.
    Press the Setup button () on the control panel of the product.
    Press the Right Arrow button () to select Fax Settings, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow button () to select Answer Options, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow button () to select Auto Answer, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow button () to select On, and then press OK.
    Have you ran a fax diagnostic test?
    Load plain white paper into the tray.
    Press the Setup button ().
    Press the Right Arrow () to select Tools, and then press the OK button.
    Press the Right Arrow () to select Run Fax Test, and then press the OK button. The product displays the status of the test and prints a report.
    Also, if there is a voicemail service on your phone line, it could be intercepting the fax and preventing the 4500 form receiving the fax.

    Hi Sandie,
    Is your Internet via DSL? If so you need DSL filters.
    This is Windows, but the basic setup info is the same...

  • Cannot receive faxes as email

    Set Print and Fax preferences to receive and send faxes. It works! - both sending and receiving. BUT, the faxes received will not go to my email even thought I've checked it to do so. (They go to my FAX folder.) How do I get them to go to my email - so I can be notified that I have something - and delete the Junk.

    I was able to receive an email containing a pdf of received faxes. It did behave weirdly though. If I was trying to sen the notifiaction (and attached pdf) to two email addresses, A and B, it would get sent to A and B, but be shown as coming from B (which isn't me). Very strange.
    Stranger still is that I can not seem to make it save the fax to a folder. There is no sign of any folder call "faxes" or "saved faxes" anywhere on my computer.
    Pretty hit and mis really. Getting it the send faxes at al took quite some considerable time to initiate (I followed a procedure to go down an incredibly convoluted path to locate some driver or other that was required to force the USB fax to come up in the list - thanks to whoever posted that by the way).
    Any idea aboput this saving lark?

  • Cannot receive Fax from PSTN on RightFax

    here is our call flow, PSTN-> GW H323 -> RightFAX -> Exchange -> outlook
    - We can send fax from outlook client to an external fax without any problem.
    - We can send fax from rightFax to outlook.
    - We can't receive fax from external fax, when we call the fax number associate with an outlook client, we hear a busy tone.
    - I think that's a problem between H323 GW and RightFAX.
    - When I configure the rightFax like a gateway H323(add route Pattern), and I call a

    to be honest i have no idea then.
    But in your logs i see:

    Call Entry(Disconnect Cause=47, Voice Class Cause Code=0, Retry Count=0)
    and Cisconnect cause 47 means: Resource Unavailable, Unspecified. This cause is used to report a resource unavailable event only when no other cause will apply.
    Maybe you'd better to investigate your faxserver....

  • Can send fax but cannot receive, fax test passed

    Hello,
    Today we tried to receive fax but it only showed "fax receive error". Fax test report shows everything is fine (all passed) and we can send fax without problems. What might cause this? Maybe fax number is wrong, but then we shouldnt be able to send it..
    Telephone line only connects to printer.

    Hi @reset5 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues receiving faxes. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw, HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225rdn.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    I have provided some steps to try to see if this will help.
    You can check the fax number by doing the following:
    1. On the product control panel, select Setup button.
    2. Select Fax Setup, Basic Setup, Fax Header.
    Turn off the Private Receive.
    1. On the product control panel, select Setup button.
    2. Select Fax Setup, Advanced Setup.
    3. Select Private Receive and then select off.
    Turn off the Error Correction setting.
    1. On the product control panel, press or touch the Setup button.
    2. Select Service, and then select Fax Service.
    3. Select Error Correction, and then select Off.
    Increase the Fax Speed setting.
    1. On the product control panel, press or touch the Setup button.
    2. Select Fax Setup, and then select Advanced Setup.
    3. Select Fax Speed, and then select the correct setting.
    Update the printer's firmware if you are still having issues. HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw.
    Select your operating system.
    Sorry for all the questions, but it will help to resolve this issue quicker.
    What type of connection do you have? (Analogue, DSL, Cable Modem)
    Are you using a filter?
    Are you using the 2 wire fax cable?
    Do you have distinctive ring set up on the line?

  • Officejet Pro 8600 cannot receive fax

    Our fax machine has recently stopped receiving faxes. We can send them fine. The fax test results say everything is working. if you call that fax from a phone line it just rings on the phone, but does not pick up. Meanwhile the fax machine does not ring or show any sign that it is receiving a call.

    It is set to auto answer? There should be a little light indicating it's on "auto answer". If "auto answer" is turned off, you have to manually answer the fax when you pick up the phone and here a fax tone.

  • New to Mac - cannot get past step 1 - installing new printer software!

    Hello - just bought my first new iMac and an HP B110 wireless printer. Printer connected and basic printing fine - but the HP software on CD that allows you to add utilities to configure printer for double-sided printing etc does not appear to install. Installing the same CD on a windows machine makes all the HP utilities available - but they just don't install or even get prompted for installation when put into the Mac? I am therefore unable to use the full capabilities of the printer. Can anyone help here please. PS - it's supposed to be easier than this - isn't it?

  • Can send but can't receive faxes on HP Laserjet, on Mac 10.9 Mavericks with TAM answering machine

    I have an iMac running OS 10.9 (Mavericks) and an HP Laserjet Professional M1212nf MFP all-in-one print/scan/fax machine connected by USB.  I have a telephone system with answering machine connected.
    I can send out faxes from the HP and from the Mac (using Fax pdf).  What I can't do is receive faxes on the HP (I know that the Mac cannot receive faxes with this machine).  I've tried every combination of settings to no avail  even disconnecting the phone/answering machine to no avail.
    Any ideas what settings I need?
    This question was solved.

    Hi ChuckStewart,
    This is certainly a head scratcher! I have found some additional information, from the following link Using an HP Fax Product with a Telephone Answering Machine (TAM).
    I found this blurb interesting, When recording the outgoing message on your TAM, the voice portion should be at least 10 seconds long, but no longer than 20 seconds . Record 5 to 7 seconds of silence at the end of the voice portion of your outgoing message (total outgoing message length would be your voice message plus the additional 5 to 7 seconds of recorded silence ).
    I wonder if you might find something helpful in the document. 
    Please let me know. thanks.

  • Receiving Faxes MX 922

    I'm having trouble with my Verizon fios and my new Canon MX 922 all-in-one printer.  I cannot receive faxes.  The faxes sent to me sounds like fax but it just beeps. When receiving a fax, I MUST pick up the handset at the printer in order for the fax machine to pick up and receive the fax. What's supposed to happen (on Telephone Priority mode) is the fax should pickup either when handset picked up, OR answering machine picks up. If I let the answering machine pick up I cannot receive faxes from the other telephones in the house all I hear is a constant beep.  Then the fax does not answer and ends after the answering machine picks up. I have turned off call waiting  and Verizon voicemail. Again the fax tone comes through but all I receive our beep tones and my fax machine does not pick up. It worked just fine on my previous Samsung printer.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or help?  Verizon says everything should work with their system including faxing. 

    Hello, what I did specifically was to actually connect the telephone into the back of the printer as the canon online instructions suggests. The telephone is a VTEC wireless telephone. I followed the canon online instructions and hooked up the telephone wires from the wall outlet to the line side of the fax machine. I came out of the fax machine and went into the telephone which sits right beside the printer. I went online to my online Verizon account and turned off most of their online voice messaging options. Such as call blocking, anonymous calls, etc. I also have hooked up into our bedroom a very old RadioShack answering machine using its instructions. It is set to answer at four rings the standard default. I am using telephone priority as my setting in the MX 922 multi-function. Ring to answer on the printer is set to five. I went online to myfax.com/free and sent a test fax to the house. This way I didn't have to bother someone to send me test faxes. Be sure to check your Verizon or Comcast account and overview the telephone and answering machine settings etc.. I can still use most of the Verizon telephone answering machine settings if I want to but I rely mostly on the RadioShack. I can also still use the HDTV set top box to see if I get a call to the house when I'm watching TV etc.
    Good Luck…

  • Can not Turn On Receive Faxes

    Hi There,
    I have a strange faxing issue. I can not turn on receive faxes. I goto the Print and Fax center in System Prefs, click on the external Modem (Apple USB Modem) then "Receive Options". I check "Receive faxes on this computer" then the 1st and 3rd options and click "OK". If I press "Receive Options" again, the check box is uncheck. I've repaired permissions and rebooted and it still does not stay checked. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Archive and Install solved the problem. That's what Apple Care suggested.
