TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING A DOCUMENT
WITH THE POLLING FACILITY ...

What is polling ...

It is a transmission request from one fax machine to
another so that the latter transmits the requested docu-
ment automatically.
The main characteristics of polling communications are:
• the user receiving the document who requests
the transmission. This means that a user may con-
nect to another fax machine and make it send him a
document automatically (preset) even if there is no
user at the other end of the line.
• the transaction is charged to the party who re-
quests the transmission (i.e.: the user who re-
ceives the document and not to the sender).

Making the transmission request (polling
for reception) ...
Agree with your remote party the time at which the docu-
ment is to be polled so that he inserts the document to be
transmitted. Then set your fax machine to receive the docu-
ment, programming the dialling method to be used to call
the remote party and the time at which the document is to be
received.
