The other side of the coin: being polled
Not only can you poll, you also can be polled. To set up a document for regular or
database polling by another Muratec or Murata machine:
1. If your fax machine is set for Tel Ready reception, change it to Auto Answer
mode, causing the Auto Answer light to glow (see page 1.29).
Important: Your machine can’t be polled if it’s in Tel Ready mode.
2. Insert the document.
3. Adjust resolution and contrast, if necessary. (This is because your fax machine
will be transmitting to the machine doing the polling.)
4. Change to the Fax mode, then press PROGRAM , D , 1, ENTER . The display will
show:
Store Polling Doc
File No. _
If you are storing this document for regular polling, skip to step 6.
If you are storing this document for database polling, proceed to step 5.
5. Use the numeric keypad to enter a one-or two-digit database file number to
identify the stored document.
6. Press ENTER . Your fax will scan the document into memory and return to
standby mode.
Erasing a stored polling document
To erase from your machine’s memory a document you’ve stored for regular or
database polling by another machine:
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press
COPY / FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM , D , 2, ENTER . The display will show:
Erase Polling Doc
File No. _
If erasing a document set up for regular polling, skip to step 4.
If erasing a document set up for database polling, proceed to step 3.
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter a one- or two-digit database file number to
identify the stored document.
4. Press ENTER . Your fax machine will erase the document from memory.
Printing a stored polling document
To print, without erasing it, a document you’ve stored for either regular or
database polling:
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press
COPY / FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM , D , 3, ENTER . The display will show:
Print Polling Doc.
File No. _
If printing a document set up for regular polling, skip to step 4.
If printing a document set up for database polling, proceed to step 3.
3. Use the numeric keypad to enter a one- or two-digit database file number to
identify the stored document.
4. Press ENTER . Your fax machine will print the document.
Limiting polling access to your fax machine
Your fax machine’s closed network setting (see page 2.45) works for polling, as well. If
a calling fax doesn’t “present” the proper passcode, it cannot poll from your fax.
Note: However, if you’re using the Block Junk Fax feature (see pages 2.46–2.47),
even incoming calls that meet the passcode test must come from appropriate
phone numbers.
