Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document (previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.
To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 05/POLL for use as a polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 14, as described in Chapter 8, Option Settings.
