My Epson bx300f cannot send faxes, just says no dial tone?!!!

Be sure thephone line is in the "line" plug, not the "ext" plug on the back of the machine.

Try to send a test fax to HP's fax-back line:
1-888-HP FAX ME

You can send a blank page and if they receive it they'll send you a fax back confirming it.
If you can send to HP then whoever you tried to fax to earlier is having an issue or the number you have is wrong.

If you cannot send to HP then there's an issue with your line/machine.
You would then start troubleshooting by hooking up a phone to that jack you have your Epson plugged into and seeing if you get a dial tone.

Fax only works with a telephone connection/cable.Unless you got VoIP.

check and verify that the land line is correctly plugged into the right connector at the back of the fax.. secondly check that you actually have a dial tone.. this is not a fax problem.. its a connectivity problem.. Smiles

This response is a little late, but it's because you all appear to have something other than an Epson C86, under which your problems are listed! Eoromarts problem is super-generic. It could be due to hundreds of reasons ranging from "because I was in Blackpool at the time" to "my wife had borrowed the modem cable for a washing line". Come on, you need to give a lot more information than that!. McFax - your problem is simply not understandable please be much more specific!.

However, we may be able to help Stretchyd who has provided actual information on his problem. You cannot send faxes by Broadband. You need a good old-fashioned dial-up modem (which we all used to use to connect to the internet before broadband). You clearly have one of these, otherwise you wouldn't be able to receive faxes.

So you should have a cable from your Broadband modem to the phone line, going into the broadband (DSL) filter ADSL port. You should also have a cable running from your dial-up modem socket into the broadband filter phone port (you may also have a phone going into this, so you will need a phone socket doubler to take the phone wire and the dial-up modem wire).

So, to send a Fax, you need to run your Fax program (usually the Windows XP fax module) and set up your system for dialling out. If you need help with this post a new connebt.

I must tell you that this is not a printer issue, since printer does not have inbuilt fax capabilities....Actually you are trying to send fax from the computer using a Data Fax Modem. Printer just used for scanning and printing documents for fax...

1. Please check if your computer have Fax modem.
Look at the back of the system tower, if you see a phone jack port (probably two of them).

2. If yes then , you need to have a telephone cable directly from wall (not the ethernet cable coming from DSL modem), fax works on analog signals which is possible only from telehone line.

If your phone line is working, there is no chance the it will give you error again for NO Dial tone

error 634 is an indication that the line was either busy, or there was no answer on the receiving end.

Just a suggestion. This effect can happen if you have plugged the line cord into the tel jack instead of line jack.
