Serial Polling using a Group Key
If the fax machines you want to poll have all been programmed into
one Group Key, you can poll them by simply pressing that Group Key.
(The procedure for programming Group Keys is explained in
Broadcasting
in this chapter.)
♦
Make sure no documents are in the feeder before you press the
Group Key.
Being polled (Memory polling)
To let another fax machine poll your fax machine, you must first store
the document(s) in memory using the following procedure.
Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your
fax machine and activates polling. You can choose whether to allow
polling only once, or an unlimited number of times. In the latter case,
your fax machine can be used as an electronic "bulletin board".
♦
Multiple documents can be stored for memory polling. To add a
document to others already stored, simply repeating the storing pro-
cedure (note that if Department Control is activated, documents
cannot be added by a department other than that which stored the
first document). When polling is initiated, the polling machine will
receive all documents stored.
♦
If you allow polling only once, the document(s) will be automati-
cally cleared from memory after polling. If you allow polling an
unlimited number of times, the document will remain in memory
until you clear it as explained in the following section,
