Helpful Hints
Using Polling Effectively (Examples)
Problem No. 1: You want another party to send you a long fax, but
they do not want to pay for the call.
Solution: Ask them to leave the document in their fax machine
so you can poll for it.
Problem No. 2: Sales representatives have difficulty sending faxes
to the head office’s fax machine because it is busy
much of the time.
Solution: Head office can poll the sales representatives’ fax
machines.
Problem No. 3: Because of the time or location, it is cheaper for
someone to call you than it is for you to make the call.
Solution: Ask the other party to poll for the documents and
offer to pay for the call at their lower rate.
Polling Another Fax Machine (Calling)
Once you have set up polling, as described below, and the other party has set their fax
machine to POLLED WAITING, you can receive their documents automatically.
