Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a document
(previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without assistance from the
operator of the other machine.
Hint: Polling is useful when you want the receiving fax machine, not the
transmitting fax machine, to bear the cost of the call.
♦
To use the polling function, the other machine must be capable of being
polled.
♦
Before polling, make sure the other machine is set up to receive your
polling request.

Your machine is not capable of being polled.
