Polling (Requesting a Fax Transmission)
Polling allows you to call another fax machine and have it send a
document (previously loaded in its feeder) to your machine without
operator assistance. In other words, the receiving fax machine, not the
transmitting fax machine, initiates the transmission. You can use your
machine to both poll and be polled by others.
To use the polling function, you must first set Rapid Key 08/POLL for
use as a polling key. This is done by changing Option Setting 12, as
described in Chapter 8, Option Settings. (Note that when Rapid Key
08/POLL is set as a polling key, it cannot be used for Rapid Key
Dialling.)
