When I try to send a fax the message "FAX # Restricted" appears on the display.
You can use your Brother machine's Dial Restriction feature to prevent users from accidentally sending a fax or placing a call to the wrong number.
There are three settings available for this feature:
Off: If you choose Off, the machine does not restrict any dialing method.
On: If you choose On, the machine will restrict all fax sending and outbound calls.
Enter # Twice: If you choose Enter # Twice, the machine will prompt you to re-enter the number, and then if you re-enter the same number correctly, the machine will start dialing. If you re-enter the wrong number, the LCD will display the message Fax # Restricted.
