Sending a Priority Fax
Using the Priority Fax feature, a high priority document can be sent ahead of reserved operations. The document is scanned into the memory and transmitted when the current operation is finished. In addition, the priority transmission interrupts a broadcast operation between stations (i.e., when the transmission to station A ends, before transmission to station B begins) or between redial attempts.

The machine shows the number being dialed and begins sending the document.
Polling a Remote Machine
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a document. This is useful when the person with the original document to be sent is not in the office. The person who wants to receive the document calls the machine holding it and requests that the document be sent. In other words, it “polls” the machine holding the original document.
You can set the machine to automatically receive documents from the unattended remote fax machine at any time. This feature permits unattended polling in the evening hours when telephone rates are lower.
NOTE: The machine must be ready for polling.
