Block junk fax

Your machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates against unauthorized

incoming faxes (“Junk fax”). But before you block junk fax, ﬁrst understand how this

feature works, to determine if it is right for you.

There are four possible settings for Block Junk Fax:

• Off — The feature is not activated.

• Mode1 — Your machine checks whether the last four digits of any phone number in

your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s phone number. If it

does not ﬁnd a match, your machine disconnects the call.

• Mode2 — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last four digits match any

number in the blocked numbers list. Your machine can hold up to 50 blocked numbers.

• Mode3 — This mode rejects numbers that are not in the autodialer and also rejects

numbers that are in the blocked numbers list. This mode lets you keep a number on

your autodialer for transmission to it, while still blocking its incoming calls by putting

it in the blocked numbers list.

But before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, please consider:

• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their machine. — With Block

Junk Fax activated, your machine would reject faxes from these machines.

• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with extra codes, such

as long-distance codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes.

To set the mode for block junk fax:

Press <Menu>, <2>, <2>, <1>, <0>, then <Enter>. The machine shows the current

setting:

Block Junk Fax:Off





/Enter

Press <q> or <p> until the mode you want appears.

Press <Enter> to save the setting.

What you do next depends on what you selected in step 1:

• If you selected “Off” or “Mode1”, press <Reset> to return to standby mode.

• If you selected either “Mode2” or “Mode3”, go on to step 4.

The machine shows:

Select BlockJunk No.

01:No Number Stored

Press <q> or <p> until you ﬁnd an empty position in the list, then press <Enter>.

If you want to modify an existing entry in the blocked numbers list, press <q> or <p>

until you see the number you want to modify, then press <Enter>.

To clear a number from the list, see “Erasing a number from the blocked numbers list,”

next page.

Use the numeric keys to enter the last four-digit number of a fax number you want to

block. You can enter the last eight-digit number to identify each fax number, but only

the last four-digit number will be used for blocked number.

For example, if you want to block a fax from someone with a number of 123-456-7890,

you should enter 7, 8, 9, 0:

01:Enter Fax Number

7890_

1 2 ... 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 ... 196 197
