TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION USING THE POLLING FUNCTION
The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has a document ready for transmission and
initiate reception of the document. You can also perform the reverse operation: scan a document into the memory of
your machine so that another machine can call your machine and initiate reception of the document.
Calling the sending machine and asking the sending machine to fax a document is called "polling". Scanning a document into
memory and automatically sending it when the receiving machine calls and "polls" your machine is called "polling memory".
This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function.
Polling
This function allows your machine to call another fax machine and initiate reception of a document in that machine. A timer setting can
also be specified to have the operation take place at night or at another specified time. (See "TIMER TRANSMISSION" on page 33.)
Group keys and the broadcast transmission function (page 31) can be used to successively poll multiple fax
machines in a single operation (this is called "serial polling"). Up to 200 machines can be polled.
In this case, the sequence of operations in the above diagram is successively repeated for each sending machine selected.
Polling memory
This feature allows your machine to automatically send a document previously scanned into memory when another
machine calls and polls your machine.
For information on polling and polling memory using F-codes, see "HOW F-CODE POLLING MEMORY WORKS"
(page 54). Normal polling and memory polling are explained in this chapter.
The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of polling transmission.
The machine that requests transmission bears the expense (phone charges) of the call.
