Polling

Polling is a process of calling the other station(s) for document retrieval. The other station must know in 
advance that you will call, and must prepare document(s) by storing them into the memory. To ensure 
security, establish a polling password that is shared by the other station ahead of time.
The receiving station initiates the call, therefore, it pays for the communication charges.

z

For instructions on how to use deferred polling, refer to Deferred Polling (see page 59).

z

Polling might not function with all fax machines. We suggest you attempt a trial polling before you actually poll 
important documents.

z

If a password is not set in the polled station, you may poll the other station even though your machine has a 
password.
