RECEIVING FAXES
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:

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

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
