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. You can use your machine to both poll and be
polled by others.
To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 10/POLL for use as
a polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 16, as described in
Chapter 8, Option Settings. (Note that when Rapid Key 10/POLL is set as a
polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key Dialling.)

Note: Rapid Dial Keys cannot be used for polling. To dial a Rapid Dial
location, press the SPEED DIAL key and then enter the 2-digit number
corresponding to the Rapid Key.
