Answer
I did not find a method to disable the Junk Fax blocker.
Where to look...
EWS includes an Advanced section that, in turn, includes a Fax Blocker sub-section.
The printer's user manual includes a How-to Section for using the Fax Blocker.
Copilot provides Fax Troubleshooting tips.

Let’s zero in on fax-specific troubleshooting for your HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e.
Here’s a focused guide to help you resolve common fax issues:
📠 Common Fax Problems & Fixes
❌ Fax Not Sending or Receiving
- Check phone line connection: Ensure the fax line is securely connected to the 1-LINE port (not the 2-EXT).
- Run a Fax Test: On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup > Fax Setup > Run Fax Test. This will diagnose line issues.
- Disable Error Correction Mode (ECM): Sometimes ECM interferes with transmission. Go to Fax Settings > Advanced Fax Setup > Error Correction Mode, and turn it off.
- Verify dial tone: Plug a phone into the fax line to confirm there's a dial tone.
🕒 Fax Delays or Failed Transmissions
- Lower fax speed: Go to Fax Settings > Advanced Fax Setup > Fax Speed, and set it to Medium or Slow.
- Avoid VoIP issues: If you're using a digital phone line (VoIP), faxing may be unreliable. Consider using an analog line or a fax over IP service.
📞 Wrong Number or Busy Signal
- Check number format: Include any required area codes or prefixes.
- Retry manually: Use the Fax > Send Now option and dial the number manually to test.
🧪 Fax Test Report Shows Failure
- This often means:
- No dial tone
- Line noise
- Incorrect setup
- Try resetting the printer and re-running the test.
🧰 Additional Tips
- Firmware Update: Make sure your printer’s firmware is up to date via the HP Smart app or HP’s support page.
- Use Fax Setup Wizard: Found in Setup > Fax Setup Wizard, it walks you through the correct configuration.
- Check for line filters or splitters: These can interfere with fax signals — remove them if possible.
