There are three types of Polling Transmission.

❖Secured Polling Transmission

The message will only be sent if the Polling ID of the machine trying to poll your message is the same as the Polling ID stored in your ma- chine. Make sure that both ma- chines' Polling IDs are identical in advance.

❖Free Polling Transmission

Anybody can poll the message from your machine. The machine sends it regardless of whether Poll- ing IDs match.

❖Secured ID Override Polling Trans- mission

You must enter an Override Polling ID unique to this transmission. This ID overrides in the Polling ID. The user must supply this ID when they poll your machine, and if the IDs match, the message will be sent. Make sure the other party knows the ID you are using in advance.

Preparation

Before using Polling Reception, you must store the Polling ID in your machine. See p.199 “Registering ID Codes”.

Limitation

❒Polling Transmission is allowed only if the receiver's machine has the Polling Reception feature.

❒With Free Polling, a message can also be sent to other manufactur- er's machines as long as they have the Polling Reception feature. With Default ID and Override ID Poll- ing Transmission, a document can be sent only to a machine of the same make with the Polling Recep- tion feature.

Note

❒A Polling ID may be any string of four-digit numbers (0 to 9) and characters (A to F) except 0000 and FFFF.

❒Free Polling and Default ID Polling Transmission allow only one file to be stored in memory each.

❒Override ID Polling Transmission allows a file to be stored in memo- ry for each ID; a total of up to 250 files for varying IDs can be stored.

❒The communication fee is charged to the receiver.

❒Documents that have been stored in memory and are awaiting Poll- ing Transmission can be deleted or printed out. See p.35 “Checking and Canceling Transmission Files”.
