Polling (Requesting a Fax)

Polling (Requesting a Fax)
Polling allows you to call another fax
machine and have it send a document
(previously loaded in its feeder) to your
machine without assistance from the
operator of the other machine.
Note: Polling is useful when you want
the receiving fax machine, not the
transmitting fax machine, to bear the
cost of the call.
♦
To use the polling function, the other
machine must be capable of being
polled. Before polling, make sure the
other machine is set up to receive
your polling request.
Enabling the polling key
To use Polling, you must first set Rapid
Key 14/POLL for use as the polling key.
