hello :
I had to replace my old HP 6500 all-in-one by a new 6950 all-in-one.
technical installation as previously done . everything is fine .
however , there seems to be a fax problem due to : "high frequency noise".
I seem to be not able sending faxes for that reason .
I am using DSL with a separate(!) number for the fax machine.
any good ideas ?

@winfried2, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
Check the connections. Make sure you are using a 2-wire cable. Connect both the ends firmly.
Go to Setup > Tools > Run fax test
Check the report for errors.
Go to Fax > Setup > Turn off error correction mode.
Send a fax to different number and check for the error.

Send the test fax to 1-888-HPFaxme (1-888-473-2963 U.S.).

Wait 5 to 7 minutes for the service to send a return fax.
Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
