Polling

What is polling?

Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a docu- ment. This is useful when the person with the original document to be sent is not in the office. The person who wants to receive the document calls the machine holding the original and requests that the document be sent. In other words, it “polls” the machine holding the original.

Send polling

You can programme your fax machine to send documents in your absence when polled by a remote fax machine. It is possible to use a poll code to prevent unauthorized polling of your fax machine. When you secure your machine in this manner, only those who know the poll code can poll your machine.

1.Load the document face down. If necessary, use Resolution, or

Contrast. For details, see page 3.2.

2.Press Advanced FAX on the control panel.

The display shows the first menu; BROADCASTING.

3.Press or until ‘SEND POLLING’ appears, and press Start/Enter.

4.The display asks you to enter a 4-digit poll code. The poll code is preset to 0000 at the factory, which represents no poll code.

POLLCODE [0000]

5.If you want to use a poll code, enter the 4-digit code (except for 0000), then press Start/Enter. Or

If you do not want to secure the transmission with a poll code, press Start/Enter when the display shows 0000 for the poll code, or press 0000.

6.The display asks you to store the document in the machine’s bulletin memory.

If you store the document in the bulletin board memory, more than one remote station can poll that document from your machine. If not, the document will be automatically erased after being polled by a remote machine.
