Beyond the basics

Mode 1 (the display calls it “Mode1”) — Your fax machine checks whether any phone number in your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s subscriber ID (remember, that’s the phone number part of the TTI). If it doesn’t find such a match, your machine disconnects the call.

Mode 2 (“Mode2”) — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last eight digits match any number in the blocked numbers list (we’ll explain).

Mode 3 (“Mode3”) — This rejects both numbers not in the autodialer and numbers that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodi- aler yet still block its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.

So, before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, please consider:

Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. — With this feature activated, your machine would reject faxes from such machines.

Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with long-dis- tance or other codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes (i. e., those other fax users won’t put your codes at the end of their Subscriber IDs).

If you do decide to go ahead with activating Block Junk Fax, here’s how:

1

Press /PROGRAM, J, 1, 2, ENTER. The LCD shows your fax’s current setting:

 

 

Block Junk Fax:Off

 

 

 

Program/Enter

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

 

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2

To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen

 

setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen Mode2.

 

 

Block Junk

 

 

 

Fax:Mode2

 

3

 

 

 

Press ENTER to save the setting.

 

What you do next depends upon what you selected in step 1 or 2:

 

• If either Off or Mode1, your machine will return to standby mode.

 

• If either Mode2 or Mode3, proceed to step 4.

The LCD now asks whether you want to enter a number:

 

 

Set BlockJunk Dial

 

 

 

Program/Enter

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you wish to enter or modify a number, press ENTER and proceed to step 5.

 

Otherwise, press /PROGRAM and skip to step 10.

5

Depending on whether you already have entered at least one number into the

 

blocked numbers list, the display shows one of the following:

Enter Fax Number

or

01:_

 

 

 

If you have not entered any numbers in the blocked numbers list, skip to step 7. Otherwise, proceed to step 6.

6 If you wish to modify an existing entry in the blocked numbers list, press

/PROGRAM repeatedly until you see the number you wish to modify. … or …

If you wish to enter a new number in an already-started blocked numbers list, press /PROGRAM repeatedly until you find an empty position in the list (as in the first display in step 5).

Note: To clear a number from the list, see “Clearing a number from the blocked numbers list,” below.

7 Use the numeric keypad to enter the last eight characters of a fax number you

wish to block. For example, if you wish to block a fax from someone with a Subscriber ID of 972-555-3038,you should enter 5, 5, 5, -, 3, 0, 3, 8:

Enter Fax Number 01:555-3038

To change only a specific digit of an entry, press to move leftward or /PROGRAM to move rightward until the cursor is under the digit, then use

the numeric keypad to enter the correct digit.

8 Press ENTER to save the setting. The display will show the next “slot” in the blocked numbers list.

If you do not wish to enter or change a number for this slot, proceed to step 9. If you do wish to enter or change a number for this slot, repeat steps 5–8.

9 Press STOP. The display now asks whether you want to print the list.

10 If you do want to print the list, press ENTER and your machine will print it. If you don’t want to print it, press STOP and your machine will return to its normal standby mode.
