Quick Memory transmission
Using Quick Memory transmission can save you time over standard
memory transmissions.
For a normal memory transmission, your fax: (1) scans your entire document into
memory, (2) dials the other fax machine, then (3) transmits the document.
But with Quick Memory transmission, your machine doesn’t wait to scan all pages
into memory before dialling. After it scans the first page of your document, your
machine dials the call. While dialling, connecting and transmitting, your fax
machine continues to scan in the remaining pages of the document.
You can set your fax to always use Quick Memory transmission as the default.
Important: Your fax machine’s memory transmission feature must be turned on
to use Quick Memory transmission (see page 1.13).
To make Quick Memory transmission the default:

Polling
Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or
pay for it. There are several kinds of polling:
• Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
• F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax
machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible
fax machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see “F-Code communication,”
pages 2.35–2.44.
• Continuous polling — Your fax continuously retrieves a document from any
remote fax machine at a designated time. For example, a hospital pharmacy can
use this to check on orders waiting in fax machines throughout the hospital.
For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled. See the
remote machine’s operating instructions, if necessary.
