8. POLLING
What is Polling?
Polling is a feature that lets fax machines call other machines
to request a fax transmission. The unit can receive a request
for transmission of a document (making you the called side)
or it can request a document from another unit (which makes
you the calling side). I'he LAX-700 can be used to poll only
one unit. The FAX-800M provides the option of polling one
unit or several different units. It can be operated using either
standard or security polling functions.
Polling is among the most advanced features on the machine.
While the concept may be new to some users, the operation is
always basically the same: one fax machine calls another to
request a document. The list below shows the various polling
operations which can be carried out by the machine.
• Standard Polling
• Secure Polling
• Timer Polling
• Turnaround Polling
Sequential Polling
(only for FAX-
800M)
Sends a request to have a document
sent from another fax unit.
Makes use of a coded security feature
when requesting a document.
Sends a request at a specified time for
the transmission of a fax from
another machine.
Used for "two-way" polling, this lets
you send a document, then request a
document from another fax unit.
Used to request documents from sev­
eral different fax units in a single
operation.
Remember that the calling side bears the expense of a fax
transmission when polling is done.
