This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function.

The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has document data set and initiate reception of

the document. You can also perform the reverse operation: scan a document into the memory of your machine so

that another machine can call your machine and initiate reception of the document.

This function whereby your machine calls the sending machine and asks the sending machine to begin transmission

of a loaded document is called the polling function. Scanning a document into memory and automatically sending it

when the receiving machine calls and "polls" your machine is called polling memory.

This function allows your machine to call a sending machine and initiate reception of a document loaded in that machine.

A timer setting can also be established to have the operation take place at night or another specified time (refer to 3-6 page).

Group keys and the broadcast transmission function (page 3-2) can be used to successively poll multiple

fax machines in a single operation. Up to 500 (maximum of 300 on the AR-M351U/AR-M451U when a

hard disk is not installed) machines can be polled. In this case, the sequence of operations in the above

diagram is successively repeated for each sending machine selected.

This feature allows your machine to automatically send a document previously scanned into memory when

another machine calls and polls your machine.

NOTE
For information on polling and polling  memory using F-codes, refer to page 4-4. This section only explains normal

polling and normal polling  memory.

A document should not be loaded in the machine when the following operation is performed. When used in

conjunction with the timer transmission function, only one polling job can be stored.

If the address book screen
appears, touch the
[CONDITION SETTINGS]
key to display the
condition settings screen
(page 1-5).

The [POLLING] key is
highlighted and the
polling icon appears.
To cancel polling, touch
the [POLLING] key once
again to cancel the
selection.

You will return to the initial screen.

If the condition settings

screen appears, touch the

[ADDRESS BOOK] key to

display the address book

screen. (See 1-4 page.)
If you are performing serial

polling, touch the [NEXT

ADDRESS] key and

repeat this step. (See step 3 on Page 3-3)

"POLLING." appears in
the touch panel.
The fax is received from
the other machine and
printed out.

A document should not be loaded in the machine when the following operation is performed. Manual polling is

begun on the signal of the other party.

A one-touch key or the
[RESEND] key can also
be used.

If the address book screen

appears, touch the

[CONDITION SETTINGS]

key to display the

condition settings screen

(page 1-5).

"POLLING." appears in
the touch panel.

Your machine prints the document after receiving
it from the sending machine.

NOTE
If the other machine has a polling security function (refer to page 3-16), use the key operator program to program your own fax

number (refer to page 8-5), and ask the operator of the other machine to appropriately program your fax number in that machine.

This function sends a document previously scanned into memory to a receiving machine when the receiving machine calls

and polls your machine. (If desired, you can restrict polling to fax machines whose fax number you have programmed in your

machine. (See "Polling security setting" on page 8-10.) This machine has "memory box", which is memory used for such

functions as the normal polling memory function, F-code polling memory, F-code confidential transmission, and F-code relay

transmission (refer to page 4-2). The polling memory function explained here uses a memory box called the "PUBLIC BOX". 

This procedure is for scanning a document into the Public Box. If other document data has already been stored in the

Public Box, the new document will be added after that data. If the previously stored data is no longer needed, delete that

data (refer to the following page) before scanning a new document data.

When the [IMAGE
SEND] key light is on,
the machine is in fax
mode. If the light is not
on, press the [IMAGE
SEND] key.

If the network scanner
option is installed, touch
the [MODE SWITCH]
key and then the [FAX]
key to switch to fax
mode.

When fax mode is
selected, "FAX" appears
in the top half of the
[MODE SWITCH] key.

If the address book screen
appears, touch the
[CONDITION SETTINGS]
key to display the
condition settings screen
(page 1-5).

To cancel the operation,
touch the [CA] key.

This specifies that the

document will be

scanned into the Public

Box.

If you want the document to

be cleared after polling

takes place once, touch the

[ONCE] key. If you want to

allow polling an unlimited

number of times, touch the

[UNLIMITED] key.

Note that if another

document is already in the public box, the new number

of times setting will apply to that document as well.

You will return to the initial screen.

Set the original size, resolution, exposure
and other scanning conditions as needed.
(See  "MANUALLY SETTING THE SCANNING
SIZE" on page 1-8, pages 1-10 to 1-11.)

The document is scanned.

If other document data

has previously been

stored, the new data will

be added on after the old

data.

 change the pages and then press the

[START] key again. Repeat this procedure until all

pages have been scanned, and then touch the

[READ-END] key that appears in the message

screen. When the document data has been stored in

the Public Box, "JOB STORED." appears on the

screen, after which you will return to the initial screen.

NOTE
When using the polling memory function, do not set the reception mode to MANUAL RECEPTION.

(page 1-5).

The message screen

All data in the Public Box
is deleted and you return
to the screen of step 2.
If you touch the [NO]
key, you will return to the
screen of step 2 without
deleting the data.

If you wish to prevent unauthorised fax machines from polling your machine, turn on the polling security function. When

this function is turned on, polling permission will only be granted if the fax number of the polling machine (as

programmed in that machine) matches one of the fax numbers you have programmed in your machine as passcode

numbers. Up to 10 fax numbers can be programmed as passcode numbers.

To turn on the polling security function and program passcode numbers, use the key operator program as

explained in "Passcode number setting" on page 8-10.

If you do not use the polling security function, the document will be sent to any fax machine that polls you.
To use polling memory with polling security enabled, the sender's number of the polling machine must be
