Poll to receive a fax Polling allows your HP all-in-one to ask another fax machine to send a fax that it has in its queue. When you use the Poll to Receive feature, the HP all-in-one calls the designated fax machine and requests the fax from it. The designated fax machine must be set for polling and have a fax ready to send. Note The HP all-in-one does not support polling pass codes. This is a security feature that requires the receiving fax machine (your HP all-in-one) to provide a pass code to the device it is polling in order to receive the fax. Make sure the device you are polling does not have a pass code set up (or changed the default pass code) or the HP all-in-one will not be able to receive the fax. 1 In the Fax area, press Menu until How to Fax appears. 2 Press until Poll to Receive appears, and then press OK. 3 Enter the fax number of the other fax machine. 4 Press Start Fax Black or Start Fax Color. 84 HP Officejet 6200 series all-in-one
