Chapter 3
Polling overview
Polling lets you set up your machine so other people can receive faxes from you, but they pay for the call. It also lets you call somebody else’s fax machine and receive a fax from it, so you pay for the call. The polling feature needs to be set up on both machines for this to work. Not all fax machines support polling.
Polled Transmit (Black & White only)
Polled transmit lets you set up your machine to wait with a document so another fax machine can call and retrieve it.
The document will be stored and can be retrieved by any other fax machine until you delete it from the memory. (See Checking and canceling waiting jobs on page 19.)
