Serial Polling using a Group Key
If the fax machines you want to poll have all been programmed into one Group
Key, you can poll them by simply pressing that Group Key. (The procedure for
programming Group Keys is explained on page 156.)
♦ Make sure no documents are in the feeder before you press the Group Key.
Being polled (Memory polling)
To let another fax machine poll your machine, you must first store the
document(s) in memory using the following procedure. Transmission will take
place when the other fax machine calls your machine and activates polling.
You can choose whether to allow polling only once, or an unlimited number of
times. In the latter case, your machine can be used as an electronic "bulletin
board".
♦ Multiple documents can be stored for memory polling. To add a document
to others already stored, simply repeating the storing procedure (note that if
Department Control is activated, documents cannot be added by a
department other than that which stored the first document). When polling
is initiated, the polling machine will receive all documents stored.
♦ If you allow polling only once, the document(s) will be automatically cleared
from memory after polling. If you allow polling an unlimited number of times,
the document will remain in memory until you clear it as explained in the
following section, Clearing a document.
