Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another machine. You can use your
machine to "poll" other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their machines to accommodate polling. When someone
polls your machine to receive a fax, they pay for the call; if you poll someone's fax machine to
receive a fax, you pay for the call. See "Polled Transmit" on page 49.

Polling Receive

Secure Polling
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and from "falling into the wrong hands" while the
fax machine is set up for polling. You can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax
machine. Your four-digit ID number must be entered on the fax machine that polls for your
documents.
Some machines do not respond to the polling function.
