Serial Polling using a Group Key
If the fax machines you want to poll have all been programmed into
one Group Key, you can poll them by simply pressing that Group Key.
(The procedure for programming Group Keys is explained in
Broadcasting in this chapter.)
♦
Make sure no documents are in the feeder before you press the
Group Key.
Being polled (Memory polling)
To let another fax machine poll your fax machine, you must first store
the document in memory using the following procedure. Transmission
will take place when the other fax machine calls your fax machine and
activates polling. You can choose whether to allow polling only once,
or an unlimited number of times. In the latter case, your fax machine
can be used as an electronic "bulletin board".
♦
Only one document can be stored at a time for memory polling. If
needed, you can add pages to a document already stored by simply
repeating the storing procedure (note that if Department Control is
activated, pages cannot be added by a department other than that
which orginally stored the document).
♦
If you allow polling only once, the document will be automatically
cleared from memory after polling. If you allow polling an unlim-
ited number of times, the document will remain in memory until
you clear it as explained in the following section, Clearing a docu-
ment.
