Polling (Requesting a Fax)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document
(previously loaded in its feeder or in memory) to your machine without
assistance from the operator of the other machine.
Note: Polling is useful when you want the receiving fax machine, not the
transmitting fax machine, to bear the cost of the call.
♦
To use the polling function, the other machine must be capable of being
polled. Before polling, make sure the other machine is set up to receive
your polling request.
Enabling the polling key
To use Polling, you must first set “POLLING” to “YES” and select a Rapid Key
for use as the polling key in the Option Settings as explained on pages 136
and 138.
