Polling a Remote Machine
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a document.
This is useful when the person with the original document to be sent is not
in the office. The person who wants to receive the document calls the
machine holding it and requests that the document be sent. In other words,
it “polls” the machine holding the original document.
You can set the machine to automatically receive documents from an
unattended remote fax machine at any time. This feature permits
unattended polling in the evening hours when telephone rates are lower.
NOTE
: The remote fax machine must be ready for polling.
