Polling

When you normally send faxes, you load your document into your fax
machine, select a location and, if required, press the Start key to begin
sending the document. However, sometimes it is more useful to be able to
simply load your document into your fax machine and set it to wait for the
another fax machine to call and collect the document. This is called setting
your fax machine to be polled, or polling transmission. Calling another fax
machine to receive documents someone else has loaded into their fax
machine is called polling reception.

There are two standards for polling. Standard polling is to an old standard
that is used by many, but not all manufacturers and ITU selective polling,
which is the latest standard. Your Okifax machine supports both standards.

ITU selective polling allows you to retrieve documents from individual
mailboxes or ITU sub-addresses from a fax machine that meets the
standard for ITU selective polling.
