Polling
Setting send polling
You can program your fax machine to send a document when it is requested by
a remote fax machine.
NOTE: Your HP Fax allows you to set one poll job at a time and it can be
retrieved once.
1. Turn the document face down and feed it into the machine.
2. Press Menu repeatedly until
ADVANCED FAX appears and press OK.
3. Select
Set Polling Send by pressing  and press OK.
Poll Code [0000] will display.
4. Enter the poll code you want to use for this document and press OK.
• The poll code is preset to 0000, which means that the receiver does not
need to enter a poll code to receive the document.
• The poll code is not static. You enter a new one for each document.
• The poll code is used to prevent your document from being retrieved by
an unauthorized caller.
• Your machine starts scanning the document(s) into memory and shows
POLLING SEND in the display. If the answer mode was TEL, the machine
changes it to FAX mode automatically.
• When it is polled, the page in memory will be deleted automatically. To
cancel Send Polling, see To cancel the scheduled job on page 38.
