What is Polling?
Polling means that one fax machine requests another to send a document.
This is useful for sending unattended faxes. The person who wants to receive
the document calls the machine holding the original and requests that the
document be sent. In other words, it “polls” the machine holding the original
document.
Note: The remote machine must also support polling to use this feature.
Being polled by a remote machine (TX poll)
You can program your fax machine to send documents when polled by a
remote fax machine. It is possible to assign a poll code to prevent
unauthorized polling of your fax machine.
When you secure your machine using a poll code, only those who know the
code can poll your machine.
1. Place the document fac down in the automatic document feeder. If
desired, adjust the resolution and contrast. for details, see page 2.8
2. Press Menu, then press Polling on the one-touch keypad. The display
prompts you to choose on of the two polling options: 1.TX POLL and
2.DELAY RX POLL.
3. Press Start/Enter to confirm ‘1.TX POLL.’ The display prompts you to
enter a 4-digit poll code.
Note: The poll code is preset to 0000 at the factory. This setting represents no poll
code.
4. If you want to use a poll code, enter a 4-digit code.
5. Press Start/Enter.
Or
If you do not want to secure the transmission with a poll code, press
Start/Enter when the display shows 0000 for TX-POLL CODE. If you
previously entered a poll code, and do not want one, you may enter 0000
and then press Start/Enter.
