Polling
Using the Polling function, documents stored on a remote
fax machine can be retrieved and printed on your device.
Alternatively, documents stored on your device can be
polled by a remote fax machine. Polling is a useful way of
constantly providing access to updated information
without having to re-distribute it.

several times, depending on the Mailbox & Polling Policies set.
Select the Local Polling button and then On to enable Local Polling. The options are:
