Setting Block Junk Fax

Although it’s illegal, unauthorized fax traffic — “j unk fax” — keeps coming. Your fax machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates… but, first, please understand how this feature works, to determine whether it is right for you.

There are four possible settings for the Block Junk Fax feature:

∙Off — The feature is turned off.

∙	Mode 1 (the display calls it “Mode1”) —Your fax machine limits document reception to
	fax machines whose phone number are stored in your auto-dialer (i.e., one-touch and
	speed-dial numbers).
	Your machine checks to see if any phone numbers in your autodialer matches the last
	four digits of the calling fax machine’s subscriber ID (remember, that’s the phone
	number part of the TTI). If it doesn’t find such a match, your machine will disconnect the
	call.
∙	Mode 2 (the display calls it “Mode2”) — In this mode, your fax machine rejects
	document reception from fax machines whose phone numbers are stored in the blocked
	number list (we’ll explain).
	Your fax machine checks to see if any phone number in your blocked numbers list
	matches the last eight digits of the calling fax machine’s phone number.
	If it does find such a match, your machine will disconnect the call.

∙Mode 3 (the display calls it “Mode3”) — This combines Modes 1 and 2 ; this is for use if, for example, you do wish to send a document to, but do not wish to receive from a fax machine whose phone number is stored in your autodialer. If so, store the same last eight digits (at least four digits) of the phone number as your autodialer into the blocked numbers list so that you can activate this mode.

Note: In the Block Junk Fax dial list under Modes 2 and 3, your fax can store up to 50 separate fax numbers from which you wish to reject calls.

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-distance or other access codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those fax machines. (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:

If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

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

Block Junk Fax:Off

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen setting appears.

In this example, we’ve chosen Mode2.

Block Junk Fax:Mode2

Program/Enter

Press ENTER to save the setting.

What you do next depends upon what you selected in step 2 or 3.

•If you selected either Off or Mode1, the machine will return to its normal standby mode. Ignore steps 5–10 in this procedure.

•If you selected either Mode2 or Mode3, the display will show:

Set BlockJunk Dial

Program/Enter

Press ENTER and proceed to step 5 to enter or modify a junk dial number. Otherwise, press PROGRAM and skip to step 10.

Depending on whether you already have a number entered into the blocked numbers list, the display shows one of the following:
