Polling
What is Polling?
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a
document. This is useful when the person with the original document is
not in the office. The person 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.
Polling Transmission
You can program the fax machine to send documents in your absence
when polled by a remote fax machine. A polling code is used to prevent
unauthorized polling of your machine. When you secure your machine in
this manner, only those who know the poll code can poll your machine.
