Polling
Polling enables you (or a remote fax machine) to retrieve a document. This is useful when a person who has a
document to be sent is leaving the office. The person who wants to receive the document at a later time places a
call to the machine holding the original, and requests that the document be sent. In other words, it “requests” the
machine holding the original.
Setting send polling
You can programme your fax machine to send documents in your absence when it is requested by a remote fax
machine.

• The poll code is used to prevent your document from being retrieved by the unauthorized caller.

in the display. If the
receiving mode was TEL, the machine changes it to FAX mode automatically for being polling.
• The poll code is preset to 0000 at the factory, which represents no poll code.
• When it is polled, the page in memory will be deleted automatically and receiving mode returns to the state before
setting polling. To cancel Send Polling, see "To cancel the scheduled job" on page 5.4.
