Is there a number I can fax to test my machine?

Yes. HP and Canon operate test numbers (e.g., 1-888-HP-FAX-ME), but they are often busy. The most reliable way is to send a fax to a friend or use an online service like mFax.to to send a test to yourself.

Why did my test fax fail?

Common reasons include: No dial tone (check the cord), "Line Busy" (recipient is occupied), or interference on the line (VoIP issues).

Can I test receiving a fax?

Yes. You need someone to send you a document. If you don't have a friend with a fax machine, sign up for a free trial at mFax.to and send a fax to your physical machine's number.
