Chapter 3
Polling overview
Polling lets you set up your machine so other
people can receive faxes from you, but they
pay for the call. It also lets you call somebody
else's fax machine and receive a fax from it,
so you pay for the call. The polling feature
needs to be set up on both machines for this
to work. Not all fax machines support polling.
Polled Transmit
(Monochrome only)
Polled transmit lets you set up your machine
to wait with a document so another fax
machine can call and retrieve it.
The document will be stored and can be
retrieved by any other fax machine until you
delete it from the memory. (See Checking
and cancelling waiting jobs on page 13.)
