Allowing the Receiving Party to Initiate Communication (Polling Communication)
Polling refers to the method of communication whereby transmission is not initiated by the
transmitting party, but is requested and initiated at the convenience of the receiving party.
The types of polling procedures available in this fax are: Polling Transmission and Polling
Reception.
Note Since the polling operation is initiated by a call from the receiving party, telephone charges will be
billed to the receiving party.
Preparing Documents for a Polling Transmission
The documents to be transmitted using the Polling Transmission procedure are first scanned into
memory and then, when a polling request comes from the receiving party, those documents are
transmitted automatically to that party.
Notes • During a Polling Transmission, documents will be transmitted using the Memory Transmission
mode even if the fax is currently in the Direct Feed Transmission mode.
• Polling Transmission is not possible when the fax is in the Manual Fax Reception mode. If the
fax is in the Manual Fax Reception mode, change to another reception mode. (See Initiating
the Fax Connection Manually (Manual Fax Reception) on page 3-22.)
• It is possible to add documents to the Polling Transmission as long as you are still waiting for
the polling request.
• If you use Polling Transmission in combination with the Bulletin Board function, the same
documents can be made available and transmitted to an unlimited number of receiving parties.
(See Turning the Bulletin Board ON/OFF ("Bulletin Board" setting) on page 7-3.)
• If you want to delete a scheduled Polling Transmission, see Deleting the Communication on
page 3-20, and perform the procedure described there.
• If you want to cancel the procedure part way through, press the Reset key. The operation panel
will return to the initial mode settings.
