Personal Mailboxes (Security Feature)
A personal mailbox is a security feature of the fax unit. It
allows you to send and receive password-protected,
confidential faxes into secured memory. It also allows you to
perform bulletin polling.
Personal mailboxes may also be referred to as confidential
mailboxes.
Your fax unit has eight personal (confidential) mailboxes.
Refer to the “Advanced Operations, Confidential Faxes
(Security Feature)” and “Advanced Operations, Polling”
sections of this document for more details.
Polling
There are two types of polling: standard and bulletin.
What is Standard Polling?
Normally, when you send faxes, you load documents, select a
location, and then press the Start key to begin transmission.
Sometimes it is more useful to load your documents on your
fax unit and set it to wait for the receiving fax machine to call
and collect them. This is known as setting your unit to be
polled, or setting it for polling transmission. Calling a remote
fax machine to receive documents someone else has loaded is
known as polling or polling reception.
!
Plan polling arrangements with the other party in
advance, so that everyone is aware of when documents
will be available.
Keep in mind that documents waiting to be polled stay
in the document feeder until they have been removed—
you won’t be able to use the document feeder for other
purposes until polling is completed.
