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.
|
To print a list of numbers that you have blocked or the fax activity log, see Print individual fax reports.
