Blocking or unblocking fax numbers
If you do not want to receive faxes from specific people or businesses, you can block as
many as 30 fax numbers by using the control panel. When you block a fax number and
someone from that number sends you a fax, the control-panel display indicates that the
number is blocked, the fax does not print, and the fax is not saved in memory. Faxes from
blocked fax numbers appear in the fax activity log with a “discarded” designation. You can
unblock blocked fax numbers individually or all at one time.
Note
To print a list of numbers that you have blocked, see Printing the block-fax list. To print the
fax activity log, see
Printing the fax activity log.
