Block unwanted fax numbers
If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block specific fax
numbers so the printer does not receive faxes received from those numbers. When an incoming fax
call is received, the printer compares the number to the list of junk fax numbers to determine if the call
should be blocked. If the number matches a number in the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not
received. (The maximum number of fax numbers you can block varies by model.)
NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported in your country/
region, Junk Fax Blocking does not appear in the Preferences menu.
NOTE: If no phone numbers are added in the Caller ID list, it is assumed that you are not
subscribed to a Caller ID service.
