Polling

What is Polling?

Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a document. This is useful for sending unattended faxes. The person who wants to receive the document calls the machine holding the original and requests that the document be sent. In other words, it "polls" the machine holding the original.

Note: The remote machine must also support Polling to use this feature.

Being Polled By a Remote Machine (TX POLL)

You can program your fax machine to send documents when polled by a remote fax machine. It is possible to assign a Poll Code to prevent unauthorized polling of your fax machine.

When you secure your machine using a Poll Code, only those who know the code can poll your machine.

1Place the document face down in the Automatic Document Feeder. If desired, adjust the resolution and contrast. For details, see page Resolution on page 3-21 and Contrast on page 3-23.

2Press the Menu button.

3Press the Polling button on the One-Touch keypad. The display prompts you to choose one of the two polling options: TX POLL and
