Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)

Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document
(previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In
other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates
the transmission. You can use your machine to both poll and be polled by others.
To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 05/POLL for use as a
polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 14, as described in Chapter 8,
Option Settings. (Note that when Rapid Key 05/POLL is set as a polling key, it
cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)
