Polling Reception
Use this function to poll a document from another machine.
You can also poll documents from many machines with only one operation (use
Groups and Keystroke Programs to fully exploit this function).
There are two types of Polling Reception.
❖
Default ID/Free Polling Reception
Use this method for Free Polling or Default ID Polling. If the Polling ID is pro-
grammed in your machine, any document waiting in the transmitting ma-
chine with the same ID are received. If the other machine does not have any
documents waiting with the same Polling ID, any documents that do not re-
quire ID are received (Free Polling).
❖
ID Override Polling Reception
You must enter an Override Polling ID unique to this transmission. This ID
overrides the one stored in this machine. Your machine will receive any doc-
uments waiting in the transmitting machine that have matching ID's. If no
ID's match, any documents that do not require IDs are received (Free Polling).
Important
❒
Before using ID Polling Reception, you must register a Polling ID in the Fac-
simile Features menu.
❒
Polling Reception requires that the other machine is capable of Polling Transmission.
❒
Usually, you can only receive documents with a Polling ID from machines of
the same manufacturer that support the polling function. However, if the oth-
er party's fax machine supports Polling Transmissions and the SEP function,
and also has stored IDs, you can still perform Polling Reception.
❒
This function is not available with Internet Fax.
