POLLING
Polling is when one fax machine re-
quests that another fax machine send
a document. This is useful when the
person with the original document is
not in the office.
The person who wants to receive the
document calls the fax machine hold-
ing the original and requests that the
document be sent. In other words, it
“polls” the fax machine holding the
original.
Notes:
No documents should be loaded
in your machine, and the remote
machine must be ready for your
call and have the polling feature.
Your TFX-1031 can only receive
polled documents. You cannot poll
documents from it to another fax
machine.

DIAL

2. Dial the remote fax machine’s
number.

the remote fax machine, press
CALL/POLL

document.
USING HELP FEATURES
You can print a help list of the fax ma-
chine’s basic functions and com-
mands to use as a quick reference
guide. You can also use the function
menu to remind you how to use a par-
ticular function.
