Sending Documents Requested by
Another Fax Machine
(Polling Transmission)
Sometimes it is useful to simply load your documents into
your fax machine and set it to wait for the receiving fax
machine to call and collect them. This is called setting your
fax machine to be polled, or polling transmission. Your
machine holds data in memory until transmission occurs.
An example of polling transmission is a hospital pharmacy
facsimile contacting each unit’s facsimile (Pediatrics,
Cardiology, Critical Care, etc.) for prescription orders. Staff
can load the prescription orders into the unit facsimile
machine. The pharmacy facsimile contacts the each unit
facsimile and requests the orders.
There are two types of polling transmissions.
· Memory Polling
· Bulletin Polling (Fax on Demand)
