Polling to receive documents__________________
The polling feature allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax
machine. The sending party only needs to make sure the document is on a fax machine and
ready to be sent. Thus, when your fax polls the other fax machine, the document is sent
automatically. The fax can poll any fax machine that supports polling.
* Exclude voice dialing.
Setting CALLER ID
If the CALLER ID setting is set to ON, the caller’s name and phone/fax number appear on the
LCD when you receive a call. You can also set the fax to reject unwanted calls.
• Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that the other fax machine supports polling.
• If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask them to set
the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255 (11111111 binary number).
• For details on the Polling ID, see the other party’s fax machine manual. In all other cases the Polling
ID is not a concern.
• Your fax cannot do polling transmissions.
