Polling
What is Polling?
In normal faxing, a fax machine sends a document to another fax machine. With polling,
a fax machine calls another fax machine and requests that a document be sent to it; in
other words, it “polls” that fax machine.
Your machine has the capability of functioning in both roles; it can poll another fax
machine to retrieve a document from it (polling receiving), or it can hold a document in
its polling box so that other fax machines can poll your machine and retrieve your
document (polling sending).
Polling Receiving
In polling receiving, your machine calls another fax machine and requests it sends the
document it is holding.
You may find polling receiving convenient in the following situations:
–When you want to retrieve a document from an establishment, such as a bank or
information service.
–When you want to retrieve a document from another fax machine at your
convenience.
–When you want to bear the transmission cost of receiving a document.
Polling Another Fax Machine
Before polling another fax machine, be sure to read the following:
•The machine can only poll fax machines that support polling.
•The document you want to retrieve must be ready to be polled on the other party’s fax
machine. If necessary, call the other party to check.
•Call the other party and check if you require a subaddress and/or password to retrieve
the document from their fax machine. If you do, take note of them and register them
together with the fax number for speed dialing (1
Chapter 6). You can only poll with a
subaddress/password by using speed dialing. If you do not require a subaddress/
password, you can retrieve the document without having to enter these numbers.
•If the other party is using a Canon fax machine and their machine does not support
subaddress/password transactions, ask them to set the polling ID on their fax machine
to 255 or 11111111 binary.
•You can poll several fax machines in one operation. Each polling operation can
retrieve documents from as many as 116 fax numbers.
•The subaddress/password must be an ITU-T-standard subaddress/password.

Polling Sending
In polling sending, your machine holds a document in its polling box so that other fax
machines can retrieve it.
You may find polling sending convenient in the following situations:
–A company department might store a document in the machine so that other
departments can retrieve it if they require that document.
–When you want the other party to retrieve a document from your machine at their
convenience.
–When you want the other party to bear the transmission cost of receiving a document
from your machine.
Setting Up the Polling Box
This section explains how to set up the machine’s polling box so that you can scan a
document into it for other fax machines to retrieve it.
Before setting up the polling box, be sure to read the following:
•You can set an ITU-T-standard password for the polling box to restrict being polled
only by fax machines that have this exact password (see the instructions that follow).
Make sure you contact the other party to inform them of your password. Do not set a
password if the other party’s fax machine does not support password transactions.
•Your machine can be set to hold the document in its polling box until it is polled by
one fax machine, or it can be set to continue to hold it so that several fax machines
can retrieve the document (see below for details).
Follow this procedure to set up the polling box:
