Setting Up and Using Polling Chapter 9
What’s Polling?
Polling means a fax calls another fax and requests that the other fax send
a document that it is holding. Unlike normal sending and receiving, in
polling the receiver always calls the sender. This is called polling to
receive a document. The sender sends the document in response to the
polling by a telephone call from the receiver.
Your fax can be set up to function in both roles. Your fax can poll to
receive a document, or it can be polled to send a document that it is
holding.
Before You Use Polling Receiving
Before you try to set up polling, note the following points:
With one operation you can poll several faxes. You can dial up to 110
telephone numbers and poll those faxes to receive documents that
they are holding.
You can poll a document at any time, but you may find it more useful
to set your fax for polling other faxes at specified times throughout
the day.
You must know if the other fax 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 fax. If you do not know the subaddress or password, contact
the other party.
If the other party’s documents are registered for polling without a
subaddress or password, you can still perform polling receiving.
If the other party’s fax does not support ITU-T subaddress/password
transactions, you can ask them to set the polling ID to 255 or 11111111
binary when the other party’s fax machine is a Canon fax.
