Abstract: A method includes determining whether an incoming call to a first destination is authorized at a switch of a communication network. The method includes, in response to determining that the incoming call is not authorized, determining whether the incoming call is a facsimile call, routing the incoming call to the first destination when the incoming call is not the facsimile call, and routing the incoming call to the first destination when the incoming call is the facsimile call.

Abstract: Whether a facsimile transmission tone is within a call is detected before routing the call from a switch of a telephone network to a first telephone line. When the facsimile transmission tone is detected, whether an incoming facsimile transmission transmitted by the call is permitted to be routed to the first telephone line is determined based at least partially on restriction information. Routing of the call from the switch to the first telephone line is denied when the incoming facsimile transmission is not permitted to be routed to the first telephone line.

Abstract: A communication apparatus where transmission waiting time for an originating facsimile machine is shortened. A transmitter/receiver section of one of two communication control sections receives a transmission subscriber identification (TSI) signal from the originating facsimile machine. A determination new section extracts an international telephone number from the TSI signal and determines whether or not it coincides with a pre-stored international telephone number. If they coincide, the transmitter/receiver section receives an object signal in succession, otherwise the transmitter/receiver section ends the receiving operation without receiving the object signal. Further, when both communication control sections receive object signals at the same time, a line selecting section supplies the object signal received by the communication control section that has received an international telephone number that coincides with the pre-stored international telephone number to an image output section, prior to the object signal received by the other communication control section for printing a recording sheet.

Abstract: A method of handling faxes by a fax machine is provided. The method includes generating user-configured rules, each user-configured rule including a corresponding fax job condition and an associated fax machine action to be performed if the corresponding fax job condition is met. The method also includes generating a user-configured policy for handling faxes in a fax job including the user selecting the user-configured rules to be applied when the user-configured policy is applied and the user ranking the user-configured rules from a highest rank to a lowest rank. The method also includes a fax machine receiving a fax job and applying the user-configured policy to the fax job by applying the user-configured rules in an order of application from the highest ranked rule to the lowest ranked rule.

Abstract: A method is provided for fax call blocking. The method includes: receiving a first call intended for an end instrument (10) employed by a user; obtaining a telephone number from which the first call originated; comparing the obtained telephone number against a first database (42) to determine if the obtained telephone number matches a blocked telephone number contained in the first database (42); blocking the first call such that the end instrument (10) is not alerted if a match is found between the obtained telephone number and a blocked telephone number, otherwise providing a connection to the end instrument (10) for the first call; monitoring the connection to detect for fax tone; and, entering the obtained telephone number in the database (42) as a blocked telephone number if fax tone is detected.
