Olivetti 490 Manuel D’Utilisation

It is a transmission request that a fax machine makes to another fax
machine so that the latter sends the document requested automati-
cally.
There are two main characteristics of communication using the polling
method:

•

the user who is to receive the document requests trans-
mission. In other words, a user may connect to another fax
machine and request it to send a document (specifically prepared)
to him, even when the user at the other end of the line is out.

•

the transaction is paid for by the person who requested
transmission (that is, the user who receives the document) and
not the person whose fax machine sends the document.

Arrange with your correspondent the time at which you
intend to make the transmission request so that he has time
to put the document to be sent in his fax machine. Then set
up your fax machine to receive the document, by program-
ming the dialling mode to be used to call your correspond-
ent and the time at which you wish to receive the document.
