Polling; Being Polled - imagistics DL170 Operating Manual

Polling

Polling allows someone to fax a document to you when you place the call to them.
There are several kinds of polling:
• Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
• F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a specific document stored as a file in the remote
fax machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compati-
ble fax machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see "F-Code
communication," pages 3.35.
Note: For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled.

Being polled

Not only can you poll, but you can also be polled. To set up a document to be polled:
1
Your machine can't be polled if it's in Tel Ready mode, it must be set to auto-
matically answer, pg. 2.10
2
Insert the document.
3
Adjust resolution and contrast if necessary. (Your fax machine will be trans-
mitting to the machine doing the polling.)
4
Press Program key, , 1, 0, 1,
D
Your fax will scan the document into memory and return to standby mode.
Once the remote fax machine polls the document you stored, your fax machine auto-
matically erases the document from memory.

Securing polling access to your fax machine
When you set a passcode, a calling fax which doesn't "present" the proper passcode
or doesn't have a compatible polling feature cannot poll from your fax.
Important: The passcode you use for polling operation is not the same as the pro-
tection passcode (see page 3.50).
Note: If you're using the Block Junk Fax feature (see pages 3.54–3.55), even
incoming calls which meet the passcode test must come from phone num-
bers you've approved.
