Polling Communication
The polling communication function allows you to receive pending originals in the sender's fax machine by manually
operating the receiving fax machine. In this document, the operation in which this equipment is used as the sender's fax
machine is called “polling transmission” while that in which it is used as the recipient's fax machine is called as “polling
reception”.
Polling transmission
Upon request of a recipient's fax machine, this equipment sends an original document stored into the memory to the
recipient. By setting a password and/or a recipient's fax number to an original stored into the memory, you can permit
specific recipients to receive the original using the polling transmission.
To use the polling communication function with the password verification applied, the fax machines of both the sender
and recipient have to be Oki Fax machines (MFP).
