Polling Reception; Setting The Id Code (Function 22) - Oki OKIFAX 740 User Manual

Polling Reception

This feature enables your OKIFAX 740 to call other fax
machines and request a document from them. The remote
machines must, of course, be set for polling transmission.
This application is useful if, for example, you wish to collect
reports or other documents from each of your branch offices.
Delayed polling reception allows this activity to be carried
out at night, taking advantage of off-peak telephone call
charges.
There are two kinds of polling transmission:
Free Polling Any fax machine with remote polling
facilities can call and request document
which has been prepared.
ID Polling The transmitting machine has a special ID
code as a security feature. Only a remote
machine with the same ID code can request
a prepared document.
Note: This feature works with most (but not all) fax
machines equipped with remote polling facilities.
