I just got the HP 7602 tank printer and am trying to set up the fax. I have tried everything and every different way to set this up but the test comes back Fail for dial tone detection and Fail fax line condition test. When I hook up my old HP 6978 printer, the fax works. Help please.

Hi @Peggy116,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be glad to help you!
Open for reference
In general, no physical phone connected to the printer is required - how you connect depends on the type of equipment you have. If you do want a phone physically connected, see Page 56
Start in Section Additional fax setup - Starting on Page 51
What kind of phone cord?
2-Wire phone cord - Page 128
Not sure about how well the Fax will work with Wireless -- distance and obstacles can be game changers for operational success.
Assuming you are using the Fax at the printer, after having set up the Fax using EWS, "send a fax" communication is handled at the printer and phone line wall jack connection. Page 38
If you are sending the fax from your computer (Page 39), the connection between the printer and the computer must be stable and strong. Once the job is accepted at the printer, the rest of the communication is handled at the printer / phone line jack.
Examples / Details
EWS > HP Document / How-to
Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
NOTE: Find printer IP address
Section How do I manually assign an IP address to my printer? Items 1-2
Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
