F-CODE POLLING MEMORY
F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and initiate reception of a document that has
been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and initiating reception is
called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to retrieve by polling is called
F-code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling explained on page 32; however, the
use of the F-code polling memory box means that security is provided by means of the sub-address and passcode.
How F-code polling memory works
F-code polling is when your machine calls another machine and retrieves a document that was scanned into the
polling memory box of that machine (the reverse of the above diagram).
• To perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 32.
• To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 105.
• Unlike normal polling, the other machine's fax number or system number is not programmed as a passcode for
F-code polling memory. The sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are used for polling
security.
• The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.
