Block unwanted fax numbers

If you subscribe to a caller ID service through your phone provider, you can block
specific fax numbers so the printer does not print faxes received from those numbers.
When an incoming fax call is received, the printer compares the number to the list of
unwanted fax numbers to determine if the call should be blocked. If the number
matches a number in the blocked fax numbers list, the fax is not printed. (The
maximum number of fax numbers you can block varies by model.)

NOTE: This feature is not supported in all countries/regions. If it is not supported
in your country/region, Junk Fax Blocker does not appear in the Basic Fax Setup
menu.

NOTE: If no phone numbers are added in the Caller ID list, it is assumed that a
Caller ID service has not been subscribed to with the phone company.
