Polling (Sending Documents

Requested by Another Fax)

When you normally send faxes, you load your document into
your fax machine, select a location and, if required, press the

Start

key to begin sending the document. However, sometimes it

is more useful to be able to simply load your document into your
fax machine and set it to wait for the another fax machine to call
and collect the document. This is called setting your fax machine
to be polled, or polling transmission. Calling another fax
machine to receive documents someone else has loaded into their
fax machine is called polling reception.

There are two standards for polling. Standard polling is to an old
standard that is used by many, but not all manufacturers and ITU

selective polling, which is the latest standard. Your fax machine
supports both standards.

ITU selective polling allows you to retrieve documents from
individual mailboxes or ITU sub-addresses from a fax machine
that meets the standard for ITU selective polling.
