Polling Operation
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from
another fax machine. You can use your
machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can
have someone poll your machine.
Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to
set up their fax machines for Polling. When
someone polls your machine to receive a fax,
they pay for the call. If you poll someone’s fax
machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call.
Note
Some fax machines do not respond to the
Polling feature.
