Polling Reception

Setting the ID Code (Function 22)

This feature enables your OKIFAX 740 to call other fax machines and request a document from them. The remote machines must, of course, be set for polling transmission.

This application is useful if, for example, you wish to collect reports or other documents from each of your branch offices.

Delayed polling reception allows this activity to be carried out at night, taking advantage of off-peak telephone call charges.

There are two kinds of polling transmission:

Free Polling

Any fax machine with remote polling

 

facilities can call and request document

 

which has been prepared.

ID Polling

The transmitting machine has a special ID

 

code as a security feature. Only a remote

 

machine with the same ID code can request

 

a prepared document.

Note: This feature works with most (but not all) fax machines equipped with remote polling facilities.

To set your OKIFAX 740 ID code:

1.Press [FUNCTION [2] [2].

SET ID CODE? Y/N

2.Press [YES].

ID NO:■■■■

3.Enter a unique 4-digit code using digits from 0 to 9 and/or A to F. Use the numeric keypad for numeric digits and the [*] and [#] keys for the letters A to F.

4.Press [YES] to confirm your entry.
