Personal Mailboxes (Security Feature)

A personal mailbox is a security feature of the fax unit. It allows you to send and receive password-protected, confidential faxes into secured memory. It also allows you to perform bulletin polling.

Personal mailboxes may also be referred to as confidential mailboxes.

Your fax unit has eight personal (confidential) mailboxes.

Refer to the “Advanced Operations, Confidential Faxes (Security Feature)” and “Advanced Operations, Polling” sections of this document for more details.

Polling

There are two types of polling: standard and bulletin.

What is Standard Polling?

Normally, when you send faxes, you load documents, select a location, and then press the Start key to begin transmission.

Sometimes it is more useful to load your documents on your fax unit and set it to wait for the receiving fax machine to call and collect them. This is known as setting your unit to be polled, or setting it for polling transmission. Calling a remote fax machine to receive documents someone else has loaded is known as polling or polling reception.

!Plan polling arrangements with the other party in advance, so that everyone is aware of when documents

will be available.

Keep in mind that documents waiting to be polled stay in the document feeder until they have been removed— you won’t be able to use the document feeder for other purposes until polling is completed.
