Polling
What is polling?
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a docu-
ment. This is useful when the person with the original document to be sent
is not in the office. The person who wants to receive the document calls the
machine holding the original and requests that the document be sent. In
other words, it “polls” the machine holding the original.
Send polling
You can programme your fax machine to send documents in your
absence when polled by a remote fax machine. It is possible to use a poll
code to prevent unauthorized polling of your fax machine. When you
secure your machine in this manner, only those who know the poll code
can poll your machine.
1. Load the document face down. If necessary, use
Resolution
, or
Contrast

to 0000 at the factory, which represents no poll code.

then press

memory.
If you store the document in the bulletin board memory, more than one
remote station can poll that document from your machine. If not, the
document will be automatically erased after being polled by a remote
machine.
