I've been trying to send a fax to an office in Sri Lanka for several days now, but it won't go. We are getting a Comm Error 388 in the fax error report. The unusual thing is we are able to send fax messages to other numbers (either locally or internationally), and we are able to receive fax messages from the Sri Lanka office. Can you please suggest a solution? Appreciate your urgent feedback.

Dear,

It depends on which telephone operator in Sri Lanka you are trying to send the fax message for an example (SLT / Suntel etc). Also you will need to initiate a investigation request to the telephone operator you are using there. So there is a possibility of getting this solved from one of these parties.

Inernational fax calls quite often do not work on digitized phone lines or via satellite. You cannot fix that. maybe your fax has a "fallback 4800 bps" setting that might be helpful.

Hp laser jet m1536dnf MFP won't send fax comm error 388

You can start by making sure that the photocopy is working, this is to ensure that the scanner is working. Next, try to isolate the issue if this is only happening to only one fax number? If all of these have negative results, I suggest for a hardware reset. Follow the steps for reset found here, How to Reset the HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer. Goodluck :)

Sending fax for hp all in one indicate Comm Error 388

Error could be caused by the fax machine that you are sending to.
So you can receive faxes, but can't send them. Is it just the one number that causes the error, or is it all faxes sent that cause the error?
What I like to do on fax troubleshooting calls, is to call the phone company that the site is using. Tell them that you are having fax problems, and ask them to test the line.

Receiving error 388. Can receive faxes but won't connect with other fax machines when trying to send

Hi,

The reason for the error code:
4e5e48b.jpg Error Code: 386, 387, 388, 389, 390, 391, 392, 393, 394, 395 Definition

There is too much noise on the line for a valid connection between two fax machines to complete. The noise problem might go away over time.

Solution

Retry the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.

What is error 388

there is not error code for the OfficeJet 4315. however, there are similar code for other Hp printer.
error "388" is lised as unable to detect T30 frames. in other words, the machine fail to establish comparable connection. this can be the machine trying to send out fax in high speed, or the phone line problem.
consult the user manul how to set a lower transmission rate, or try to send the fax at a differnt time of the day . If that still give you problem, please call the phone company and have they look a the phone line.
