Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)

Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)

Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document (previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.

To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 08/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 14, as described in Chapter 8, Option Settings. (Note that when Rapid Key 08/POLL is set as a polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)

Requesting transmission

1 Dial the fax machine you want to poll using one of the following methods:

•Pick up the handset (or press the SPEAKER key) and press a Rapid key. Wait for the fax answerback tone.

•Pick up the handset (or press the SPEAKER key) and dial the full number. Wait for the fax answerback tone.

•Press the SPEED DIAL key and enter a 2-digit Speed Dial number.

•Enter the full number using the numeric keys.

Being polled (polling standby)

To let another fax machine poll your machine, simply set the reception mode to FAX, and load the document(s) to be sent.

Transmission will take place when the other fax machine calls your machine and activates polling. Automatic reception is possible whilst your fax is on polling standby.
