Sending Documents Requested by

Another Fax Machine

(Polling Transmission)

Sometimes it is useful to simply load your documents into

your fax machine and set it to wait for the receiving fax

machine to call and collect them. This is called setting your

fax machine to be polled, or polling transmission. Your

machine holds data in memory until transmission occurs.

An example of polling transmission is a hospital pharmacy

facsimile contacting each unit’s facsimile (Pediatrics,

Cardiology, Critical Care, etc.) for prescription orders.  Staff

can load the prescription orders into the unit facsimile

machine.  The pharmacy facsimile contacts the each unit

facsimile and requests the orders.

There are two types of polling transmissions.

· Memory Polling

· Bulletin Polling (Fax on Demand)
