Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or
pay for it. There are two kinds of polling:
• Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
• F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax
machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible
fax machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see "F-Code Boxes," pages
3.24–3.32.
Note: For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled.
