CALLING A FAX MACHINE AND INITIATING 
RECEPTION (Polling)
The Polling function allows the receiving machine to call the transmitting machine and initiate reception of a document in 
that machine.
Because the receiving machine initiates reception of a document, this is called Polling Reception.
Make sure that an original is not placed in the machine when using the polling reception function.

SENDING A FAX WHEN ANOTHER 
MACHINE POLLS YOUR MACHINE
(Polling Memory)
Sending a document that has been scanned into memory when another machine polls your machine is called Polling 
Memory.
Prior to polling, the document that will be faxed to the other machine must be scanned into a polling memory box.
This function can only be used when the other machine is Super G3 or G3 compatible and has a polling function.
RESTRICTING POLLING ACCESS (Polling security)
To only allow specified machines to poll your machine, you can restrict polling to machines whose programmed sender 
fax number matches a fax number stored in your machine as a polling passcode number. This is called Polling 
Security.
To use this function, first store polling passcode numbers (the sender fax numbers programmed in the other machines) 
in the machines system settings, and then enable polling security.
Up to 10 fax numbers can be stored as polling passcode numbers.
System Settings (Administrator): Fax Polling Security
This is used to enable polling security. This is used to store fax numbers as polling passcode numbers.

This section explains how to perform F-code communication operations. F-code communication is possible with 
machines of other manufacturers that also support F-code communication.
F-CODE COMMUNICATION
Exchange of confidential documents (confidential communication), retrieval (polling) and distribution (polling memory) of 
information, distribution of information to multiple destinations (relay broadcast transmission) are possible with other 
machines that support F-code communication.
An F-code* is specified in each communication, enabling a higher level of security.
* F-code is a communication function based on the G3 standard of the ITU-T.
HOW F-CODES WORK
A fax that is transmitted with an F-code is received to the memory box in the receiving machine specified by the F-code 
(sub-address and passcode). If the F-code sent by the transmitting machine does not match the F-code in the receiving 
machine, reception will not take place.
The products of other manufacturers may use different terms for sub-address and passcode. If you need to contact the 
operator of another machine regarding sub-addresses and passcodes, refer to the terms used by the ITU-T in the table below.
PERFORMING F-CODE 
COMMUNICATION
The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International 
Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.

CREATING MEMORY BOXES IN THE MACHINE FOR 
F-CODE COMMUNICATION
Before the F-code communication function can be used, special memory boxes must be created using F-Code Memory 
Box in the system settings.
A box name and F-code (sub-address and passcode) are programmed in each box, and an F-code communication 
function is assigned to each box.
After you have created a memory box, inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the box.
To use the following F-code communication functions, F-code memory boxes must be created in your machine.
F-code confidential reception, F-code polling memory, F-code relay broadcast transmission
To use the following F-code communication functions, F-code memory boxes must be created in the other machine.
F-code confidential transmission, F-code polling reception, F-code relay request transmission
F-CODE DIALLING
When performing an F-code operation, the F-code (sub-address and passcode) is appended to the fax number that is 
dialled. Check the F-code (sub-address and passcode) programmed in the memory box in the other machine before you 
perform an F-code transmission. It is convenient to store an F-code together with the fax number in a one-touch key or 
group key.
When the following F-code functions are used, your machine dials the other machine.
F-code confidential transmission, F-code polling reception, F-code relay request transmission
When the following F-code functions are used, the other machine dials your machine.
F-code confidential reception, F-code polling memory, F-code relay broadcast transmission
System Settings: F-Code Memory Box (page 7-100)
This is used to configure memory boxes for F-code communication.
 Up to 100 memory boxes can be created.
 The memory box name cannot be longer than 18 characters, and the sub-address and passcode cannot be longer than 20 
digits.
 If the destination machine does not have a passcode configured in the F-code, do not enter a passcode when dialling that 
machine.
 F-code communication cannot be performed when using the speaker or performing manual transmission.
System Settings: Address Book (page 7-16)
This is used to store and edit one-touch keys and group keys.
