To fix this problem of unwanted fax, simply folloe these instructions:

1. Pick up the phone: Lift the handset of the fax machine or multifunction device that is receiving the fax.

2. Listen for the fax tone: You will typically hear a series of beeps and tones when a fax is being received. Wait until you're sure that a fax is coming through.

3. Press the "Cancel" or "Stop" button: Most fax machines have a dedicated button labeled "Cancel" or "Stop." It may also have a symbol that resembles a square or X to stop the process.

4. Wait for confirmation: After pressing the cancel button, the fax machine should stop the incoming fax transmission. You may hear a confirmation tone or see a message on the fax machine's display indicating that the fax has been canceled.

5. Hang up the phone: Once you've canceled the incoming fax, you can hang up the handset. The fax machine should return to its normal standby mode.

6. Block the sender (if necessary): If you're receiving the same unwanted fax repeatedly, it may be a good idea to contact the sender or your fax service provider to request that they stop sending the fax. You can also inquire about options for blocking specific numbers.
