Block or unblock 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:

The sender of a blocked fax is not notified that the fax failed.

NOTE:

If the sender has not configured the fax header, the number cannot be blocked.
