I get a comm error 281 when trying to recieve a fax on my HP 4645

SOURCE: Comm. Error

Try this website: http://www.instruccionesweb.com/u2/pdf/fax/Canon-L120-en.pdf

SOURCE: Hp laserjet 3050 fax report

The error 244 results from a fax machine communicating and trying to 'Poll" your fax. (receive information you have loaded into the fax memory for all to receive) The error comes in when your fax has no information or is not set up to be polled.

Look in your menu for the "ECM" setting on the printer menu. If this error is getting persistent change the ECM setting to the opposite of what it is set now. More than likely your fax will say ECM=On, change to off.

If you have problems locating where the ECM section is, print a "settings report" or "printer menu".

Hope that helps you.

SOURCE: We have a HP colour laser jet CM2320nf MFP and

Check phone line. use a normal phone and plug into the same phone wall socket that the MFP is using, do we have a dial tone? Do we have a noisy line, any buzz or crackel will cause issues

If there is no dial tone ring line supplier, If it is noisy line do the same

Also check phone line is plug into "line" socket in the back of machine not "ext'

Also check no prefix is required to dial out, unit needs its own phone line..

Also try using resolution of fax as standard not fine, this requires less info to go threw the line

In Australia we have a thing called folds (fax online diag service), basicly it is a fax number you ring and the phone company who own the line send back a report, most times the issue is noisy line or no line available

hope this helps

SOURCE: We are having lots of problems receiving faxes.

There is a big chance this is a line problem, contact your phone line company before trying to fix or replace your Fax modem on the MFP.

Good Luck
