Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document
(previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without operator assistance. In
other words, the receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, initiates
the transmission.
To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 15/POLL for use as a
polling key.
♦
When Rapid Key 15/POLL is set as a polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key
dialling.
