POLLING

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

What Is Polling?

Polling 

is 

the 

process 

of 

retrieving 

faxes 

from 

another 

fax 

machine. 

You

may 

use 

your 

machine 

to 

“poll” 

other 

machines, 

or 

you 

may 

ask 

someone

to 

poll 

your 

machine. 

The 

party 

who 

polls 

pays 

for 

the 

cost 

of 

the 

call.

How Does It Work?

First all parties set up their fax machines so that they can accommodate

polling. Then one party leaves documents in the fax machine so that the
other party can call and have the documents sent to them.

When to Use Polling

Use polling to control the cost of who pays for sending a fax.

1. If you want to pay for the cost of the call: Send faxes to other parties as

you normally would, and if another party has documents to send you, ask
if you can poll for them.

2. If you want others to pay for the cost of the call: Ask them to poll your

machine for documents they want, and have them fax any documents
that you want.

* There are some fax machines that will not respond to the polling function.
