Before polling another fax machine, be sure to read the following:

• The machine can only poll fax machines that support polling.
   
• The document you want to retrieve must be ready to be polled on the other party's fax machine. If necessary, call the other party to check.
   
• Call the othe rparty and check if you require a subaddress and/or password to retrieve the document from their fax machine. If you do, take note of them and register them together with the fax number for speed dialing. You can only poll with a subaddress/password by using speed dialing. If you do not require a subaddress/password, you can retrieve the document without having to enter these numbers.
   
• If the other party is using a Canon fax machine and their machine does not support subaddress/password transactions, ask them to set the polling ID on their fax machine to 255 or 11111111 binary.
   
• You can poll several fax machines in one operation. Each polling operation can retrieve documents from as many as 116 fax numbers.
   
• The subaddress/password must be an ITU-T-standard subaddress/password.
