Setting Block Junk Fax
Although it’s illegal, unauthorised fax traffic — “junk 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-dialler
(i.e., one-touch and speed-dial numbers).
Your machine checks to see if any phone numbers in your autodialler 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 autodialler. If
so, store the same last eight digits (at least four digits) of the phone number as
your autodialler 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 ID s. —
With this feature activated, your machine would reject faxes from such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialler 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
ID s.)
If you do decide to go ahead with activating Block Junk Fax, here’s how:
1. 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.
2. 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.
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
4. 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.
