Polling Operation

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from 
another fax machine. You can use your 
machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can 
have someone poll your machine. 

Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to 
set up their fax machines for Polling. When 
someone polls your machine to receive a fax, 
they pay for the call. If you poll someone’s fax 
machine to receive a fax, you pay for the call. 

Note

Some fax machines do not respond to the 
Polling feature.

Polling Receive
