Sending Documents Requested by
Another Fax Machine (Polling
Transmission)
When you normally send faxes, you load documents into
your fax machine, select a location, and then press the Start
key to begin sending the documents.
However, sometimes it is more useful to simply load your
documents into your fax machine and set it to wait for the
receiving fax machine to call and collect them. This is called
setting your fax machine to be polled, or polling
transmission.
To use polling transmission, do the following:
1Load your documents.
2Press the Select Function key.
3Press the 5/Polling One Touch Key. The display shows
BULLETIN POLL.
4For Standard Polling, press the No © key. The fax
machine begins scanning the message into memory and
completes the set up process for the polling text.
For Bulletin Polling, Press the YES § key. The display
shows PERSONAL BOX NO. [ ]. Enter a mailbox
number between 0 – 8.
!With Bulletin Polling, the scanned document is stored
in memory until you delete it. You can therefore conduct
polling transmission as many times as you want. Also,
when using a box number, the remote fax must also be
equipped with a box function. Set the box number to 0
for polling without a box number.
Dialing Another Fax Machine to
Request Documents (Polling
Reception)
Calling a remote fax machine to receive documents loaded
on the remote fax machine is called polling or polling
reception.
To use polling reception, do the following:
1With no documents loaded, press the Select Function
key.
2Press the 5/Polling One Touch key. The display shows
NO= < MAIL BOX NO. >.
3Select a location. Refer to the instructions below.
