Polling allows someone to fax a document to you without having to make the call or
pay for it. There are several kinds of polling:
• Regular polling — Your fax retrieves a document from a remote fax machine.
• F-Code polling — Your fax retrieves a document stored as a file in the remote fax
machine. To do this, you must be communicating with another F-code-compatible
fax machine. For more information on F-Code polling, see “F-Code polling,” page
3.34.
Note: For polling to work, the remote machine must also be set up to be polled.

machine had placed the call.

polling:
