My system is Microsoft Windows Business 7 - for the last couple months I have had problems with receiving faxes - once in a great while I will receive an unwanted travel brouchure but nothing else.  I always get comm error 252 - what is it trying to tell me.

Hi @HPkj, 

 

Welcome to the HP Forums! 

 

I understand that you cannot receive faxes with your HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276 printer. I am happy to help! 

 

According to this article, Interpreting Fax Error Codes, it states: 

 

252 - Telephone line conditions were too poor to receive a fax.


Retry the fax reception when line conditions might have improved.

 

Configure the machine to start reception at a lower speed.

 

If the local machine received several pages of a larger document successfully, ask the remote user to send the document in several smaller parts.

 

I would also recommend going through this guide, Cannot Send or Receive Faxes, just in case.

Hope this post is helpful, and have a nice day! 🙂
