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
origi nal.
Note:
The remote machine must also support Polling to use this feature.
