Beyond the basics
Polling
Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without the other person having to
make (and pay for) the call. Your machine can perform:
• Regular polling — Retrieves a document from the remote fax machine.
• Database polling — (Possible only in communication with certain memory-equipped
Muratec or Murata fax machines) Retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote
fax’s memory. Great for getting price list and other frequently updated documents.
• Continuous polling — Retrieves continuously a document from any remote fax
machine for the designated time. For example, a hospital pharmacy can use this
to check on orders waiting in other faxes in the hospital.
Note: When you wish to end a continuous polling operation, you must delete it
using the Review Commands feature (see page 2.22).

machine which has a file stored in its memory, ready for polling.

to poll from the remote machine.
2 Press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS four times and ENTER once.
