Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can
use your FAX/MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll
your machine.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax machines to accommodate
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.
Setting Up Polling Receive
Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax from it.
