3-34 Sending a Fax
Polling
What is Polling?
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a document.
This is useful for sending unattended faxes. The person who wants to
receive the document calls the machine holding the original and requests
that the document be sent. In other words, it "polls" the machine holding the
original.
Note: The remote machine must also support Polling to use this feature.
Being Polled By a Remote Machine (TX POLL)
You can program your fax machine to send documents when polled by a
remote fax machine. It is possible to assign a Poll Code to prevent
unauthorized polling of your fax machine.
When you secure your machine using a Poll Code, only those who know the
code can poll your machine.
1 Place the document face down in the Automatic Document Feeder. If
desired, adjust the resolution and contrast. For details, see page
Resolution on page 3-21 and Contrast on page 3-23.
2 Press the Menu button.
3 Press the Polling button on the One-Touch keypad. The display
prompts you to choose one of the two polling options: TX POLL and
DELAY RX POLL.
