Fax line causing fax machine to reboot.

Here's an odd one. We have an HP color LaserJet MFP M283fdw Fax/Scanner/Printer. When using the regular fax line (line 2 on the comcast modem) sending a multi-page fax the machine sends one single page, and then it reboots! Every single time! But if I plug the fax into line 1 (which is our primary voice line) it will send mutli-page faxes with no problems.

I've plugged a phone into each line to listen for line noise, and get a clear dial tone on both. Even pressed a digit to silence the dial tone so I could hear even the faintest of line noise, and both the primary voice and secondary fax line are crystal clear.

I've plugged the fax machine directly into the modem, and on line 1 (primary) it works perfectly. But on line 2 (fax line) it reboots the fax/scanner/printer immedidately after sending page 1, and it does this every single time.

We've had this comcast provided modem for a few years now. So is it time for a replacement?

EDIT: We've replace the machie with a brand new HP MFP machine, and it still does the same thing? So i've ruled out every possible cause except the comcast telephone modem.

Thank you so much for that information and can you also confirm the account number or the mac address of the modem? 

Also, we are going to reach out to our amazing advanced repair team so we can look into everything from the backend and make sure everything is good on our side as this does sound very strange. What would be the best contact number to reach you?

Hi! I appreciate you for letting me know! I am glad to hear that you had IT check everything out on your end! That really helps us in getting to the bottom of the issue as quickly as possible! In reviewing the account, I am seeing that our awesome field engineers began working to resolve a technical issue affecting your location back on my birthday on 04/26/20. However, I am seeing that the job is now suspended at this time, which could be the cause of this issue. Our field engineers are great and work hard with dedication and commitment to resolving technical issues affecting your location as quickly as possible. Rest assured, I have made you my priority and will have our Advance Repair team to research this concern further on our side. This team is a group of advanced repair representatives that is dedicated to resolving issues such as this. Would you mind also providing me with your best contact phone number and email address?

I'm sure my IT will be able to install it as long as he is able to communicate with one of your tech to guide him.Also i'm sure that he will be charging me for that service,and if that will be covered by Comcast i'm sure it can be done.

You’re welcome, Dr. Baskett! I have now submitted a request to have our Advance Repair team to contact you within the next 48 hours (386)546-4402. I will also make sure to monitor this request and follow up with you in 24 hours to provide an update.

We truly want you to have reliable service so your business can operate correctly. We understand this is a sensitive time for many families during this health crisis. As a company, Comcast wants to help however we can! Check out this helpful link to see all the ways Comcast is committed to helping our valued customers during the crisis: https://comca.st/3ctTLyI.

Additionally, just so you are aware, to support public health efforts and to protect the health and safety of our employees, we are now limiting inside service visits provided by our technicians across the country. A modem replacement would normally require a technician installation. However, our technicians will no longer be entering the inside of a building unless services are all out during this challenging time. We want nothing more than to get this resolved for you and thank you greatly for your patience! What I have done from here is submitted an additional request to have the modem replacement dropped off to you. I can not guarantee that we will be dropping off the modem to you at this time, however, I have certainly submitted a request and will follow up with you to provide an update. 

I look forward to speaking with you in 24 hours Dr. Baskett. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out! We are here to serve you at any time for your convenience.

It is my pleasure to help! We definitely want nothing more than for you to be able to have those faxes sent. Even though you will be able to arrange for no one to be at the office, our technicians will not be able to enter the building unless all services are out at this time. I will certainly follow up with you in 24 hours to confirm if we can drop off the modem to you. If we are able to drop off the modem, will you be able to have IT install it for you as one option? Additionally, our Advance Repair team will be looking into this further to make sure that you will not continue to experience this issue even after replacing the modem.

No problem! I will certainly add notations to the account with this request. Once I confirm that we can drop off the modem, I recommend getting the technician’s contact information upon arrival. I will also add a notation for dispatch to inform the technician to make sure they leave you with their contact information.

In the meantime, I also want to make sure you know about our business app, which can make your services so much more convenient. You can set up notifications for when your bill is ready, monitor, change your phone service, settings, features, and information including Call History, Voicemail Inbox, Be Anywhere, Privacy, and Call Forwarding. There is a ton of great self-help stuff on that app! You can troubleshoot your services, request help, set up one-time automatic post-dated payments, and manage your plan! My cousin uses this app for her business in California all the time! You can access more information on our business app through this link comca.st/2MxXhMH.

Absolutely. We will be able to help with some guidance on here. As far as the charge for the install service, we would not be able to cover the cost directly. However, as a form of appreciation for your time and business, I will be able to credit the account for the difference. How does this sound? At Comcast, we strive in ensuring that you receive the services that you pay for. Once the issue is resolved, I will also make sure to compensate you for the services charged while experiencing service issues. How does this sound?
