Polling Other Fax Machines to Receive Documents
The machine polling feature allows you to request a document to be faxed to you from another fax machine. The sender 
only needs to make sure the document is on his fax machine and ready to be sent: when your machine polls that machine, 
the document is sent automatically. The machine can poll any fax machine that supports polling.
