Reserve polling
General:
The polling procedure is used for receiving a
document. The difference between polling and
"normal" reception is that the call is established
by the person wishing to receive the document,
and that the call charges are incurred by the
person receiving the document.
More and more companies are using the polling
facility as "FAX on DEMAND", for instance for
providing information such as weather reports,
current price lists, stock exchange news, traffic
jam predictions, etc.
For the polling facility to be used, it must be
reserved beforehand.
Reserve polling
Other fax partners can poll information from your fax machine if you set up this facility with this function. Your
document which you reserve for polling is read that into the memory of the machine so that the document tray
is not blocked.
There are two types of reservation available:
• single reservation:
Your stored document is deleted as soon as the document has been polled.
• permanent reservation:
Your stored document is permanetly available for polling.
• Only one document can be reserved for polling.
• The document reserved for polling is lost in the event of a power failure.
Polling protection
Polling reserved in this manner is not protected. I.e. every fax machine which has a polling facility is able to poll
documents from your machine. The polling protection facility is activated in order to prevent unauthorised
polling (only possible with single reservation).
Two options are available for polling protection:
1. NUMBER: With this option, you specify the number of the fax ma chine which is permitted to poll
documents from your machine. However, it is essential that the code of the polling fax machine is identical
to the number which you enter as polling protection.
Please enter the complete number of the polling fax machine.
Example:

Entry for polling protection:
2. CODE: If you wish to reserve the polling facility exclusively for TOSHIBA fax machines, you can use the four-
digit TOSHIBA code as polling protection. Documents can then only be polled if this code is identical in both
fax machines.
• Only one form of polling reservation is possible at any one time.
