Polling To Receive Faxes; Polling A Fax Machine - Canon FAX-B155 User Manual

Polling to receive faxes

The polling feature of the fax allows you to request a document to be faxed to you
from another fax machine. The other party only needs to make sure the document is
on a fax machine and ready to be sent: when your fax polls the other fax machine,
the document is sent automatically. The fax can poll any fax machine that supports
polling. (This process does not work in reverse, however: your fax cannot be polled
by other fax machines.)

Polling a fax machine __________________________

• Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that fax machine
supports polling.
• Your fax cannot be polled by another fax machine.
1
Press [Hook] and dial the fax number of the fax machine
you wish to poll.
Use one of the dialling methods described on page 56.
2
When you hear a high pitch tone, press [Start/Copy].
Your fax begins receiving the document.
If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling
ID function, ask them to set the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255
(11111111 binary number).
For details on the Polling ID, refer to the other party's fax machine
manual. In all other cases the Polling ID is not a concern.
