Polling; Secure Polling; Setup For Polling Receive (Standard) - Brother MFC-5440CN User Manual

Polling

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine.
You can use your MFC to 'poll' other machines, or you can have
someone poll your MFC.
Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax
machines for Polling. When someone polls your MFC 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.
Some fax machines do not respond to the Polling feature.

Secure Polling

Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others from
falling into the wrong hands while the MFC is set up for polling. You
can use Secure Polling only with another Brother fax machine.
Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.
