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.
