Section 5 Other Features of this Fax
5-8
Polling refers to the method of communication whereby transmission is not initiated by the transmitting party, but is requested and initiated
at the convenience of the receiving party.
There are two types of polling procedures available in this fax: Polling Transmission and Polling Reception.
* Since the polling operation is initiated by a call from the receiving party, telephone charges will be billed to the receiving party.
Preparing Documents for a Polling
Transmission
The documents to be transmitted using the Polling Transmission
procedure are first scanned into memory and then, when a polling
request comes from the receiving party, those documents are
transmitted automatically to that party.
* During a Polling Transmission, documents will be transmitted
using the Memory Transmission mode even if the fax is currently
in the Direct Feed Transmission mode.
* It is possible to add documents to the Polling Transmission as
long as you are still waiting for the polling request.
* If you use Polling Transmission in combination with the Bulletin
Board function, the same documents can be made available and
transmitted to an unlimited number of receiving parties. (Refer
to “Turning the Bulletin Board ON/OFF (Bulletin Board setting)”
on page 7-3.)
* If you want to cancel the procedure part way through, press the
Reset key. The touch panel will return to the initial mode
settings.
Set the documents you want to transmit.
* When the documents are set on the platen, it is
necessary, after each page is scanned, to select whether
or not you want to transmit more pages. (Refer to page
2-6.)
Press the “Application” key. The Application screen will
appear.

> Entering documents for the first time
If you want to limit who can request transmission of the
documents from your fax, use the keypad to enter a
4-digit Polling ID (the self-station ID of the receiving fax).
* If you DO NOT want to designate any specific fax, do
not enter a Polling ID here.
* If a Polling ID other than “0000” is entered, the
receiving fax must be one of our models that has the
corresponding capabilities.
