F-CODE POLLING MEMORY
F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and activate reception of a document
that has been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and
activating reception is called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to
retrieve by polling is called F-code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling
explained on page 3-13; however, it uses an F-code polling memory box and is always protected by means of the
sub-address and passcode.
How F-code polling memory works
F-code polling is when your machine calls another machine and retrieves a document that was scanned into the
polling memory box of that machine (the reverse of the above diagram).
USING F-CODE POLLING MEMORY
In order for another machine to retrieve a document from your machine, you must first scan the document into the
F-code polling memory box.
You can check scanned document data by printing it out (refer to "Checking and clearing document data in a
memory box" on the following page).
Scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box
The procedure for scanning a document into an F-Code polling memory box (page 6-13) is similar to the procedure
for scanning a document into the polling memory public box. Instead of touching the [PUBLIC BOX] key in step 5
of "Scanning a document into memory (Public Box) for polling memory" on page 3-15, touch the key of the memory
box that you wish to use. If document data has already been stored in that box, a new document data will be added
on to the existing data. If you no longer need the existing data, delete it as explained in "Checking and clearing
document data in a memory box" on the following page.
When you touch the memory box into which you wish to scan the document, the
key is highlighted and selected as the scanning destination.
NOTES
To perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 3-13.
To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 6-11 and "Number of transmissions" on page 6-13.
Unlike normal polling, the other machine's fax number is not programmed as a passcode for F-code polling
memory. The sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are always used for polling security.
The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.
NOTE
When using F-code polling memory, do not set the reception mode to manual reception.
NOTE
When creating the memory box, you can select whether to have the
scanned document data automatically cleared after polling, or left it in the
box to allow repeated polling.
