Polling to receive faxes
The polling feature of the fax allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax
machine. The other party only needs to make sure the document is on a fax machine and ready to be
sent: when your fax polls the other fax machine, the document is sent automatically. The fax can poll
any fax machine that supports polling. (This process does not work in reverse, however: your fax cannot
be polled by other fax machines.)
Polling a fax machine
note:
¶ Before attempting to poll a fax machine, make sure that fax machine supports polling.
¶ Your fax cannot be polled by another fax machine.
1
Press [Hook] and dial the fax number of the fax machine
you wish to poll.
Use one of the dialling methods described on page 56.
2
When you hear a high pitch tone, press
[Start/Copy].
Your fax begins receiving the document.
note:
If the other party is using a Canon fax machine which has the Polling ID function, ask them to set
the Polling ID of their fax machine to 255 (11111111 binary number).
For details on the Polling ID, refer to the other party’s fax machine manual. In all other cases the
Polling ID is not a concern.
