WHAT POLLING IS
It is a transmission request that a fax machine makes to another fax
machine so that the latter sends the document requested automati-
cally.
There are two main characteristics of communication using the polling
method:
• the user who is to receive the document requests trans-
mission. In other words, a user may connect to another fax
machine and request it to send a document (specifically prepared)
to him, even when the user at the other end of the line is out.
• the transaction is paid for by the person who requested
transmission (that is, the user who receives the document) and
not the person whose fax machine sends the document.

ent and the time at which you wish to receive the document.
