Receiving a Fax by Polling

You can use polling to receive a fax from another fax machine (such as a fax information service).

Note: You cannot use polling to receive a fax from a fax information service that uses audio guidance. To receive a fax 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.

Press the home button, if necessary.
Press the arrow buttons to select Fax, then press the OK button.
Press the OK button, select More, and press the OK button again.
Select Polling Receive and press the OK button.
Select On and press the OK button.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the fax number you expect to receive the fax from.
Note: If you cannot manually enter a fax number, Direct Dialing Restrictions in Security Settings is set to On. Select fax recipients from the contacts list or the sent fax history.
Press the start button to start receiving the fax.
