1 | If your fax machine is set for Tel Ready reception, press AUTO ANSWER to |
| change it to the Auto Answer mode. The Auto Answer light will glow. |
| Important: Your machine can’t be polled if it’s in Tel Ready mode. |
2 | Insert the document. |
3 | Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. (Your fax machine will be trans- |
| mitting to the machine doing the polling.) |
4 | Press /PROGRAM, D, 1, ENTER. |
| Your fax will scan the document into memory and return to standby mode. |
Note: If you want to return to the “Tel Ready” mode after the remote machine has polled your document, press AUTO ANSWER. The Auto Answer light on the control panel will turn off. But do this only after you’re sure the remote machine has polled your document.
Once the remote fax machine polls the document you stored, your fax machine auto- matically erases the document from memory.
