Leaving a Document to Be Picked Up by
Others (Polling Transmission)
Use Polling Transmission when you
want to leave a document in the ma-
chine's memory for others to pick up.
The message will be sent when the
other party calls your machine.
You cannot specify the telephone
number of the polling terminal (the
terminal that you wish to poll your
document), but using the ID Code
there are ways to make sure that the
message does not go to the wrong
place, as explained below.
There are three types of Polling
Transmission.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Free Polling
Anybody can poll the message
from the polled machine's memo-
ry.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Secured Polling
The message will only be sent out
if the ID Code of the polling ma-
chine is the same as the ID Code
stored in the polled machine.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖
Stored ID Override
You must enter an Override Poll-
ing ID unique to this transmission.
The user must supply this ID when
they poll your machine and if the
IDs match, the message is sent.
Make sure the other end knows the
ID you are using in advance.
Limitation
❒
Secured Polling and Stored ID
Override can only be used be-
tween terminals produced by the
same manufacturer. With Free
Polling, a message can also be sent
to other manufacturer's machines
as long as they have the Polling Re-
ception feature.
Note
❒
Only one document can be stored
in the memory for Free Polling and
Secured Polling. However, with
Stored ID Override, you can store
up to 100 files, but you must use a
different ID for each file.
❒
A Polling ID may be any string of
four numbers (0 to 9) and charac-
ters (A to F) except 0000 and FFFF.
❒
The communication fee is charged
to the receiver.
❒
To delete the document immedi-
ately after transmission, select
"Use once". To repeatedly send the
document, select "Save". By de-
fault, Polling Transmission is set to
"Use Once". See P.95
“User Parame-
ters” (switch 11, bit 7).
❒
This function works only when
sufficient memory is available.
