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 assistance from the
operator of the other machine.
Hint: Polling is useful when you want the receiving fax machine, not the
transmitting fax machine, to bear the cost of the call.
To use the polling function, the other machine must be capable of being
polled.
Before polling, make sure the other machine is set up to receive your
polling request.
Your machine is not capable of being polled.
