RESTRICTING POLLING MACHINES (POLLING SECURITY)

If you wish to allow only specified fax machines to poll your fax machine, enable polling security and program the fax numbers of the machines that are to be allowed to poll your machine. When this is done, polling will take place when the fax number of the polling machine matches one of the fax numbers that have been programmed in your machine. Up to 10 passcode numbers (fax numbers of machines that are allowed to poll your machine) can be programmed.

To enable polling security and program passcode numbers, see "Programming/deleting passcode numbers:" on page 78.
