Factors Contributing to HP Fax Error Code 346

A fax error known as HP Error Code 346 appears when you attempt to fax something from your HP Officejet Pro 8600. The problem arises for some reasons, some of which are listed below:

• The location to which you are trying to fax is primarily the problem. The receiver's Fox machine may be unresponsive or experiencing network problems.

• Before the fax was fully sent, you inadvertently hit the STOP button.

• Broken Connection

• Power outages or any other problem involving power

• Other problems with phone lines, like excessive line traffic or bad line conditions.

Manage HP Fax Error Code 346 Troubleshooting Yourself

To resolve HP Fax Code 346, you can try a few troubleshooting techniques. However, you should contact the person you're trying to fax before you begin. In addition, if the recipient is terminating the transmission on his end, HP Error Code 346 may also appear.

If so, contacting him will let you know and spare you from going through these troubleshooting steps. You can fax the identical document to someone else to find out whether the problem is with you or the recipient.

1. See if the lousy phone line gets better by waiting for a while. If the fax won't go through, call your phone provider to see if there is a problem.

2. Turn off Error Correction mode (ECM) and see whether you can now fax. On the receiver end, poor image quality problems are resolved by turning off ECM. By doing this, the overall quality of the received document will be improved.

3. If you attempt to send the fax at a high transmission speed, HP Fax Error Code 346 may also appear. A lower transmission speed on your HP OfficeJet printer will resolve the issue. To reduce the rate of your fax, take the following actions:

• Click the Right Arrow on the home screen of your printer.

• Select the Fax sub-menu by opening the Setup menu.

• Go through the menu and choose Advanced Fax Setup.

• Locate the Fax Speed setting and choose a low transmission speed, such as 9600.
