Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)

Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document (previously loaded in the machine’s feeder or stored in memory) to your machine without assistance from the operator of the other machine.

Hint: Polling is useful when you want the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, to bear the cost of the call.

♦To use the polling function, the other machine must be capable of being polled.

♦Before polling, make sure the other machine is set up to receive your polling request.
