POLLING

Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a document to your fax machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.

Setting the polling key

To use the polling function, you must first reset Rapid Key 20/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by resetting Option Setting 12, as described in Chapter 8, "Optional Settings".
