Receiving Faxes by Polling (Polling Receive)

You can receive a fax stored on another fax machine by dialing the fax number. Use this feature to receive a document from a fax information service.

Note:
  • If the fax information service has an audio guidance feature that you need to follow to receive a document, you cannot use this feature.

  • To receive a document from a fax information service that uses audio guidance, just dial the fax number using the connected telephone, and operate the phone and the printer following the audio guidance.

    Note:
