Polling to receive documents _________________
The polling feature allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax machine. The sending party only needs to make sure the document is on a fax machine and ready to be sent. Thus, when your fax polls the other fax machine, the document is sent automatically. The fax can poll any fax machine that supports polling.
• Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that the other fax machine supports polling.
• Your fax cannot be polled by another fax machine.
Follow the procedure below to poll another fax machine.

If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask them to set the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255 (11111111 binary number).
For details on the Polling ID, see the other party’s fax machine manual. In all other cases the Polling ID is not a concern.
