Polling
Polling is a process of calling the other station(s) for document(s) retrieval. The other station must
know in advance that you will be calling, and must prepare document(s) by storing them into the
memory. To ensure security, establish a polling password that is shared by the other station ahead of
time.
The receiving station initiates the call, therefore, it pays for the communication charges.
zFor instruction on how to use deferred polling, refer to Deferred Polling (see page 50).
