Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or pay
for it. There are several kinds of polling:
Regular polling Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
F-Code polling Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax
machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible fax
machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see F-Code transmission and
polling, pages 3.33.
