I have a single phone line for voice and fax. In the past if I knew that a fax was coming I didn't pick the phone and the fax machine would take over. Now the fax doesn't pick up.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Turn on the Auto Answer setting if you want the printer to answer faxes automatically.
- 1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
- 2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Basic Fax Setup.
- 3. Touch Auto Answer to turn it on.
Have you set up the voice mail on this line?
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
