POLLING
Polling allows you to request another fax machine to send an original to your fax machine. In other words, the
receiving fax machine, not the transmitting fax machine, activates the transmission. You can use your fax to both
poll and be polled by others.
Serial polling can be used to poll multiple fax machines (maximum of 100) in a single operation.
