Polling
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document 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 fax machine to both poll and be polled by others.
Polling others
To poll another fax machine, follow the steps below.
If desired, you can dial more than one fax number to receive documents
consecutively from a group of fax machines (this is called "Serial Polling"; a
maximum of 154 fax machines can be polled in one operation).
