USING POLLING MEMORY
This function sends a document previously scanned into memory to a receiving machine when the receiving machine calls
and polls your machine. (If desired, you can restrict polling to fax machines whose fax number you have programmed in your
machine. (See Polling security setting on page 8-10.) This machine has memory box, which is memory used for such
functions as the normal polling memory function, F-code polling memory, F-code confidential transmission, and F-code relay
transmission (refer to page 4-2). The polling memory function explained here uses a memory box called the PUBLIC BOX. 
QScanning a document into memory (Public Box) for polling memory
This procedure is for scanning a document into the Public Box. If other document data has already been stored in the
Public Box, the new document will be added after that data. If the previously stored data is no longer needed, delete that
data (refer to the following page) before scanning a new document data.

PROGRAMMING FREQUENTLY USED OPERATIONS
This function allows you to store the steps of an operation, including the destination and scanning settings, into a
program. This function is convenient when you frequently send documents, such as a daily report, to the same
destination. Up to eight programs can be stored.
Programs can be stored using the custom settings, and a name up to 18 characters long can be assigned.
For information on storing, editing, and deleting programs, refer to storing a program, and Editing and
deleting programs on page 6-8.
The following settings can be stored in a program:
ODestination fax numberO PollingO Erase
ODual Page ScanO 2in1O Card shotO Resolution and exposure
Auto-dial keys (one-touch key, group key or speed dial key) are used to store the destination fax number. A full
number cannot be entered. When storing a broadcast transmission or serial polling operation in a program, up to 500
(maximum of 300 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U when a hard disk is not installed) destination fax numbers can be
stored.
USING A PROGRAM
1In fax mode, load the document (page 1-7).
Do not load a document
if you are performing a
polling operation.
If you are going to use Dual
Page Scan (page 3-5) and
card shot (page 3-8), place
the document on the
document glass.
2Touch the [SPECIAL MODES] key and then
the [PROGRAM] key.
If the address book screen
appears, touch the
[CONDITION SETTINGS]
key to display the
condition settings screen
(page 1-5).
3Touch the program key you wish to
execute. Make sure the key is highlighted
and then touch the [OK] key.
The program key you
touched is selected and
you return to the screen

TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES
This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means
of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast transmission and
confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other fax
machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables
these functions to be performed with any other machine that supports F-code
transmission. Please read those sections which are of interest to you.

TRANSMISSION BETWEEN MACHINES
SUPPORTING F-CODES
This machine supports the F-code standard as established by the ITU-T*.
Operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission previously could only be performed with
another Sharp fax machine; however, F-Code communication makes it possible to perform these operations with fax
machines of other manufacturers that support F-Code communication.
Before using the functions explained in this chapter, make sure that the other fax machine supports F-Code communication
and has the same functions as your machine. (the other machine may use a different name for the function).
* 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.
MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES
REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION
Memory boxes can be created in the memory of fax machines that support F-Code communication. These boxes are
used to store faxes received from other machines and documents to be transmitted when a polling request is received.
 
Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a memory box in the units memory. The
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another
machine polls that machine. Up to 100 memory boxes can be created for a variety of purposes, and a name can be
assigned to each box. A sub-address that indicates the boxs location in memory must be programmed, and if
desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.
*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling (See USING POLLING MEMORY on page 3-15).
When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a
document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box. (Box names
are used only to manage boxes in the machine; you do not need to inform the other party of a box name the other
party only needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)
This machine uses the term sub-address for the location of the memory box and the term passcode for the
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.

ENTERING (DIALING) A FAX NUMBER WITH A SUB-
ADDRESS AND PASSCODE
When transmitting to a memory box in another fax machine, the sub-address and passcode must be entered after
the other machines fax number. Enter the other machines fax number as explained for a normal transmission (page
2-2) or for a polling operation (page 3-14), and then enter the sub-address and passcode as follows:
1Dial the fax number of the other machine,
or touch a one-touch key or the speed dial
key.
If the condition settings
screen appears, touch
the [ADDRESS BOOK]
key to display the
address book screen
(refer to page 1-4).
If the sub-address and
passcode have been programmed into the one-
touch key, the following steps are not needed.
2Touch the [SUB ADDRESS] key.
A slash / appears at the
end of the fax number. If
you make a mistake,
press the [C] key to clear
the mistake.
3Use the numeric keys to enter the sub-
address of the other machines memory
box (max. 20 digits)
If you make a mistake,
press the [C] key and re-
enter the correct digit(s).
4Touch the [SUB ADDRESS] key once
again.
A slash / appears at the end of the sub-address.
5Use the numeric keys to enter the
passcode of the other machines memory
box (max. 20 digits)
If a passcode has not been established for the
other box, this step is not necessary.
CREATING A MEMORY BOX FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION
Operations that use F-Code memory boxes include F-Code polling memory (following page), F-Code confidential
transmission (page 4-6), and F-Code relay broadcast transmission (page 4-8). To perform these operations, a
memory box for each type of transmission must be created.
Memory boxes are created in the custom settings. Up to 100 boxes can be created.
The information programmed in each memory box varies slightly depending on the type of
operation. Refer to pages 6-11 to 6-16 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory
boxes.
After you have programmed a memory box, inform the other party of the boxs sub-address and passcode.

F-CODE POLLING MEMORY
F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and activate reception of a document
that has been scanned into the other machines F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and
activating reception is called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to
retrieve by polling is called F-code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling
explained on page 3-13; however, it uses an F-code polling memory box and is always protected by means of the
sub-address and passcode. 
QHow F-code polling memory works
F-code polling is when your machine calls another machine and retrieves a document that was scanned into the
polling memory box of that machine (the reverse of the above diagram).
USING F-CODE POLLING MEMORY
In order for another machine to retrieve a document from your machine, you must first scan the document into the
F-code polling memory box.
You can check scanned document data by printing it out (refer to Checking and clearing document data in a
memory box on the following page).
QScanning a document into an F-code polling memory box
The procedure for scanning a document into an F-Code polling memory box (page 6-13) is similar to the procedure
for scanning a document into the polling memory public box. Instead of touching the [PUBLIC BOX] key in step 5
of Scanning a document into memory (Public Box) for polling memory on page 3-15, touch the key of the memory
box that you wish to use. If document data has already been stored in that box, a new document data will be added
on to the existing data. If you no longer need the existing data, delete it as explained in Checking and clearing
document data in a memory box on the following page.
When you touch the memory box into which you wish to scan the document, the
key is highlighted and selected as the scanning destination.
NOTES
OTo perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 3-13.
O
To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 6-11 and Number of transmissions on page 6-13.
OUnlike normal polling, the other machines fax number is not programmed as a passcode for F-code polling
memory. The sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are always used for polling security.
OThe receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.
NOTE
When using F-code polling memory, do not set the reception mode to manual reception.
NOTE
When creating the memory box, you can select whether to have the
scanned document data automatically cleared after polling, or left it in the
box to allow repeated polling.
