Polling Communication
Polling refers to the method of communication whereby transmission is not initiated by the transmitting party, but is requested and
initiated at the convenience of the receiving party.
There are two types of polling procedures available in this fax: Polling Transmission and Polling Reception.
* Since the polling operation is initiated by a call from the receiving party, telephone charges will be billed to the receiving party.
(1) Polling Transmission
The documents to be transmitted using the Polling Transmission
procedure are first scanned into memory and then, when a polling
request comes from the receiving party, those documents are
transmitted automatically to that party.
* During a Polling Transmission, documents will be transmitted using
the Memory Transmission mode even if the fax is currently in the
Direct Feed Transmission mode.
* It is possible to add documents to the Polling Transmission as long
as you are still waiting for the polling request.
* If you use Polling Transmission in combination with the Bulletin
Board function, the same documents can be made available and
transmitted to an unlimited number of receiving parties. (Refer to
“Turning the Bulletin Board ON/OFF” on page 6-2.)
* If you want to cancel the procedure part way through, press the
Reset key. The touch panel will return to the initial mode settings.
1. Set the documents you want to transmit.
* When the documents are set on the platen, it is necessary, after
each page is scanned, to select whether or not you want to
transmit more pages. (Refer to page 1-18.)
2. Touch the “Application” key. The Application screen will appear.
3. Touch the “TX Polling” key.
If you are entering documents for this Polling Transmission for the
first time, go to the next step.
If you want to add documents to those which have already been
saved into memory or replace them completely, go directly to
step 6.
> Entering documents for the first time
4. If you want to limit who can request transmission of the documents
from your fax, use the keypad to enter a 4-digit Polling ID (the self-
station ID of the receiving fax).
* If you DO NOT want to designate any specific fax, do not enter a
Polling ID here.
* If a Polling ID other than “0000” is entered, the receiving fax must
be one of our models that has the corresponding capabilities.
5. Touch the “Confirm” key and then go directly to step 8.
> Adding or replacing documents
6. If you want simply to add documents to those already in memory,
touch the “Add” key. If you want to delete all of the documents
currently in memory and replace them with new documents, touch
the “Overwrite” key.
