Preventing Unwanted Faxes

When you do not want to receive unnecessary faxes, you can use the following two methods to specify the behavior of the fax feature for incoming faxes. You can enable both of these features at the same time.

Registering a sender whose faxes you want or do not want to receive

  • When receiving unwanted faxes such as advertisements repeatedly, register the sender in the list to deny reception.

  • If you only accept fax transmissions from a specific sender, register the sender to the list. The machine only receives fax transmissions from registered senders.

You can specify whether you receive or do not receive faxes.

You can register up to 200 senders whose faxes you receive or do not receive.

Not receiving faxes from an unknown sender
