Leaving A Document To Be Picked Up By Others (Polling Transmission); Free Polling (Function 15) - Ricoh FAX2900L Operator's Manual

Leaving a Document to Be Picked up by
Others (Polling Transmission)
Use Polling Transmission when you
wish to leave a document in the mem-
ory for others to pick up.
You cannot specify the telephone
number of the polling terminal (the
terminal that you wish to poll your
document), but using the ID Code
there are ways to make sure that the
message does not go to the wrong
place, as explained below.
There are three types of Polling
Transmission.
Free Polling:
Anybody can poll the message
from the polled machine's memo-
ry.
Secured Polling:
The message will only be sent out
if the ID Code of the polling ma-
chine is the same as the ID Code
stored in the polled machine.
Stored ID Override:
There are two ways to use this fea-
ture:
• If your ID Code is different from
that of the other terminal, you
can use the other terminal's ID
Code just for this transmission
(ask the other terminal's opera-
tor what their ID Code is). Your
machine's stored ID Code will
be ignored.
• For extra security, both parties
can specify an ID Code just for
this communication. The ID
Codes of both machines will be
ignored. All communicating
parties need to coordinate their
ID Codes in this case.

Limitation
Only one document can be stored
in the memory for Free Polling,
and only one can be stored for Se-
cured Polling. However, with
Stored ID Override, you can store
more than one file, but you must
use a different ID for each file.
Secured Polling and Stored ID
Override can only be used be-
tween terminals produced by the
same manufacturer.
Reference
ID Code: see P.61 "Programming the
ID Code".
