Polling
Polling is a process of calling the other station(s) for document retrieval. The other station must know in
advance that you will call, and must prepare document(s) by storing them into the memory. To ensure
security, establish a polling password that is shared by the other station ahead of time.
The receiving station initiates the call, therefore, it pays for the communication charges.

Polling might not function with all fax machines. We suggest you attempt a trial polling before you actually poll
important documents.

If a password is not set in the polled station, you may poll the other station even though your machine has a
password.
