Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can
use your fax machine 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.
Some fax machines do not respond to the polling function.
