Setting Up and Using Polling
This chapter shows you how to set up and use polling sending and receiving. Polling is useful when the sending party cannot be in the office
at the same time.
What’s Polling?
Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests the other fax to send a document that it is holding. Unlike normal sending
and receiving, in polling the receiver always calls the sender. This is called polling to receive a document. The sender sends
the document in response to the polling by a telephone call from the receiver.
NOTE
Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to receive a document, or it can be polled to send a document that it is
holding.
Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
•
With one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 142 telephone numbers and poll those faxes to receive
documents that they are holding.
•
If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask them to set the Polling ID of their fax
machine to 255 (1111 1111 binary number). For details on the Polling ID, see the other party’s fax machine manual. In all
other cases the Polling ID is not a concern.
