Polling; Setting The Polling Key; Polling Others - Sharp AR-F151 Facsimile Operation Manual

Polling

Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send a document to your fax
machine. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine,
activates the transmission. You can use your fax to both poll and be polled by others.

Setting the Polling Key

To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid key 20/POLL for use as a polling
key. This is done by following the procedure shown below.
• The polling key cannot be used for both Rapid Key Dialling and Polling. If it has
already been programmed for Rapid Key Dialling, you must clear it first as described
in "Storing Numbers for Automatic Dialling" in Chapter 2.
