RECEIVING FAXES
Receive polling
Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or pay
for it. There are two kinds of polling:
• Regular polling — Your machine retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
• F-Code polling — Your machine retrieves a document stored in a F-code boxes of
the remote fax machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-
code-compatible machine. For more information of the F-code communication, see
“Using F-code box features,” page 6-1.
NOTE: For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled.

To set up your machine for regular polling:

with the other machine, begins receiving the document as if the other machine had
placed the call.
