To block or unblock fax numbers
If there are people or businesses from whom you do not want to receive faxes, you can block up to
30 fax numbers using the control panel. When you block a fax number and someone from that
number sends you a fax, the display panel indicates 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 fax activity log feature is not supported for Microsoft Windows 95, but you can print the fax
activity log using the control panel. See
Printing the fax activity log
