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.

Polling Transmission

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

1Adjust the document guides to match the width of the document. Load your document face down into the automatic document feeder until it is grasped and pulled into the machine. If necessary, adjust Resolution and Contrast. For details, see page 3.13.

2Press the Advanced FAX button. The display shows the first menu; “BROADCASTING.”

3Press or until “SEND POLLING” appears, and press the Start/Enter button to access the Send Polling menu.

4The display prompts you to enter a 4-digit poll code.

NOTE: The poll code is preset to 0000 at the factory which represents no poll code. If a poll code other than 0000 is used, polling will be restricted to the WorkCentre Pro 580’s only.
