how caller id operates
when you receive a call, the name and phone number of the caller will alternately appear in the display, beginning just before the second ring. the information will continue to be displayed until the line is disconnected.

display messages
one of the following messages will appear while the fax rings if caller information is not available.
no service no caller information was received from your telephone company. make sure that the telephone company has activated your service.

viewing the caller id list
if you subscribe to a caller id service and have turned on the caller id function, your fax machine will keep information on the most recent 20 calls and faxes you have received. you can view this information, which consists of the name and number of each caller, in the caller id list.
after you have received 20 calls, each new call will delete the oldest call.
follow the steps below to view the caller id li st in the display. if desired, you can immediately dial a number when it appears.

priority call
if desired, you can set your fax to make a special ringing sound when you receive a call from a designated phone number. this lets you know immediately who is calling without having to look at the display.

blocking voice calls
with caller id turned on, you can use the anti junk fax function described in blocking reception of unwanted faxes in this chapter to block voice calls as well as fax receptions (the anti junk fax function normally only blocks faxes).
in this case, when a voice call or a fax transmission comes in from a number you have specified as a "junk number", your fax will break the connection as soon as it receives the calling phone number from the caller id service (before the second ring).
to use this function, turn on the anti junk function and then enter the number in the anti junk number list as explained in blocking reception of unwanted faxes in this chapter (see page 108).
this function cannot be used if you are using the distinctive ring function.
