SENDING/RECEIVING A DOCUMENT IN
POLLING MODE
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT POLLING IS
It is a transmission request that a fax machine makes to another fax machine so that the latter sends the document requested automati- cally.
There are two main characteristics of communication using the polling method:
•the user who is to receive the document requests trans- mission. In other words, a user may connect to another fax machine and request it to send a document (specifically prepared) to him, even when the user at the other end of the line is out.
•the transaction is paid for by the person who requested transmission (that is, the user who receives the document) and not the person whose fax machine sends the document.
TO MAKE A TRANSMISSION REQUEST (POLLING RECEPTION)
Arrange with your correspondent the time at which you intend to make the transmission request so that he has time to put the document to be sent in his fax machine. Then set up your fax machine to receive the document, by program- ming the dialling mode to be used to call your correspond- ent and the time at which you wish to receive the document.
