Poll to receive a fax

Polling allows your HP all-in-one to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has
in its queue. When you use the

Poll to Receive

feature, the HP all-in-one calls the

designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine
must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send.

Note

The HP all-in-one does not support polling pass codes. This is a security

feature that requires the receiving fax machine (your HP all-in-one) to provide a pass
code to the device it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the device you
are polling does not have a pass code set up (or changed the default pass code) or
the HP all-in-one will not be able to receive the fax.
