The Other Side of the Coin: Being Polled
Not only can you poll, you can also be polled.
To set up a document for regular polling by another Muratec or Murata machine:
1. If your fax machine is set for Tel Ready reception, press
receive
to change it
to Auto Answer mode (such as Fax Ready, T/F Ready, Ans Ready).
Important:
Your machine can’t be polled if it’s in Tel Ready mode.
2. Insert the document.
3. Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. (Your fax machine will be
transmitting to the machine doing the polling.)
4. Press
program
,

,
mode/enter
.
5. Press
mode/enter
. Your fax will return to standby with a “Reserved” notice,
like this:
Reserved
This means your fax machine has stored a polled transmission command.
While reserved, the machine can receive documents but cannot transmit.
Note:
If you were using “Tel Ready” mode before step 1 and wish to return to
it after the remote machine has polled your document, press
receive
to
change the reception mode. But do this only after you are sure the
remote machine has polled your document.
Limiting Polling Access to Your Fax
Machine
Your fax machine’s passcode setting (see page 2.17) works for polling. If a calling
fax doesn’t “present” the proper passcode, it cannot poll from your fax.
Note:
However, if you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see page 2.18), even
incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from appropriate
phone numbers.
