Programming Regular And Database Polling - Muratec MFX-1500 Operating Instructions Manual

Beyond the basics

Programming regular and database polling

Note: To erase a programmable one-touch key, refer to page 2.71.
Note: For database polling to work, three things must be true:
• The remote fax must be a memory-equipped Muratec fax with a file stored
in its database memory and ready for polling.
• The database file which you're polling must exist on the remote fax.
• You must know the one- or two-digit file number for each database file you
wish to poll.
Note: You cannot program continuous polling into a programmable one-touch key.
For more information on continuous polling, see page 2.31.
To program a polling operation, whether regular or database, into a programmable
one-touch key:
