Cancelling Polling Receiving

To cancel polling receiving, follow the same procedure as for cancelling receiving (1 p. 8-11).

Polling Sending

In polling sending, your FAX holds a document in its polling box so that other fax machines can retrieve it.

You may find polling sending convenient in the following situations:

–A company department might store a document in the FAX so that other departments can retrieve it if they require that document.

–When you want the other party to retrieve a document from your FAX at their convenience.

–When you want the other party to bear the transmission cost of receiving a document from your FAX.

Setting Up the Polling Box

This section explains how to set up the FAX’s polling box so that you can scan a document into it for other fax machines to retrieve it.

Before setting up the polling box, be sure to read the following:

•You can set an ITU-T standard password for the polling box to restrict being polled only by fax machines that have this exact password (see the instructions that follow). Make sure you contact the other party to inform them of your password. Do not set a password if the other party’s fax machine does not support password transactions.

•Your FAX can be set to hold the document in its polling box until it is polled by one fax machine, or it can be set to continue to hold it so that several fax machines can retrieve the document (see below for details).

Follow this procedure to set up the polling box:

1Open the one-touch speed dial panel.

2Press Data Registration.

3Press Set.

4Use ∂ or ¨ to select POLLING BOX.
