Polling
What is Polling?
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a
document. This is useful when the person with the original document to
be sent is not in the office. 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 ÒpollsÓ the machine holding the original.
Being Polled By a Remote Machine
You can program your fax machine to send documents in your absence
when polled by a remote fax machine. It is possible to use a Poll code to
prevent unauthorized polling of your fax machine. When you secure
your machine in this manner, only those who know the Poll code can
poll your machine.
1. Load the document face down. If necessary, use Resolution , or
Contrast . For details, see page 2.8.
2. Press Menu , then press Polling on the one-touch keypad. The display
prompts that you can choose the two polling options; TX POLL and
DELAY RX POLL.
3. Press Enter to confirm Ô1.TX POLL.Õ The display asks you to enter a
4-digit poll code. The poll code is preset to 0000 at the factory, which
represents no Poll code.
4. If you want to use a Poll code, enter the 4-digit code (except for
0000), then press Enter .
Or
If you do not want to secure the transmission with a Poll code, press
Enter when the display shows 0000 for TX-POLL CODE, or press 0000.
5. The display asks you to store the document in the machineÕs bulletin
memory.
If you store the document in the bulletin board memory, more than one
remote station can poll that document from your machine. If not, the file
will be automatically erased after being polled by a remote machine.
To store the document in the bulletin board memory, press Enter.
Or
If you do not want to store in the memory, press
Stop.
