Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another machine. You can use your machine to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their 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. (See “Setup for Polling Transmit” in chap. 6.)
Some machines do not respond to the polling function.
