Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
• In one operation you can poll several fax machines. You can dial up to 210
telephone numbers, and poll those fax machines to receive documents that they
are holding.
• You can poll a machine at any time, but you may find it more useful to set your
machine for polling other fax machines at specified times throughout the day. (See
“Polling to Receive at a Preset Time,” on p. 9-12.)
• You must know if the other fax machine is holding the document under both a
subaddress and password, or only a subaddress or password. You must also
know the subaddress and password so you can enter them on your machine. If
you do not know the subaddress or password, contact the other party.
• If the other party’s document(s) are registered for polling without a subaddress or
password, you can still perform polling receiving.
• If the other party’s fax machine does not support ITU-T subaddress/password
transactions, you can ask them to set the polling ID to ‘255’ or ‘1111 1111’ binary if
the other party’s fax machine is a Canon fax machine.
