Polling

What is Polling?

Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a document. 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 ÒpollsÓ the machine holding the original.

Being Polled By a Remote Machine

You can program 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 2.8.

2.Press Menu, then press Polling on the one-touch keypad. The display prompts that you can choose the two polling options; TX POLL and

DELAY RX POLL.

3.Press Enter to confirm Ô1.TX POLL.Õ 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.

TX-POLL CODE [0000]

4.If you want to use a Poll code, enter the 4-digit code (except for 0000), then press Enter.

If you do not want to secure the transmission with a Poll code, press Enter when the display shows 0000 for TX-POLL CODE, or press 0000.

5.The display asks you to store the document in the machineÕs 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 file will be automatically erased after being polled by a remote machine.

To store the document in the bulletin board memory, press Enter.

If you do not want to store in the memory, press Stop.
