Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a document to your fax machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.
To use the polling function, you must first reset Rapid Key 15/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by resetting Option Setting 15, as described in Chap- ter 9, "Optional Settings". (Note that when Rapid Key 15/POLL is set as a poll- ing key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)
