TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION USING
THE POLLING FUNCTION
This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function.
The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has document data set and initiate reception of the
document. You can also perform the reverse operation: scan a document into the memory of your machine so that
another machine can call your machine and initiate reception of the document.
This function whereby your machine calls the sending machine and asks the sending machine to begin transmission
of a loaded document is called the polling function. Scanning a document into memory and automatically sending it
when the receiving machine calls and "polls" your machine is called memory polling.
NOTE
For information on polling and polling memory using F-codes, refer to page 4-4. This section only explains normal polling and
normal polling memory.
■ Polling
This function allows your machine to call a sending machine and initiate reception of a document loaded in that
machine. A timer setting can also be established to have the operation take place at night or another specified
time (refer to the previous page).

Permits polling
Group keys and the broadcast transmission function (page 3-2) can be used to successively poll multiple fax
machines in a single operation (serial polling). Up to 300 machines can be polled. In this case, the sequence of
operations in the above diagram is successively repeated for each sending machine selected.
NOTE
The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of polling transmission.
■ Polling memory
This feature allows your machine to automatically send a document previously scanned into memory when another
machine calls and polls your machine.
