Polling
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.
