Brother 580MC Polling, Setting Multi-function Link Mode For MFC 660MC Only, MF Link

Polling

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your FAX/MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine. All parties involved in polling need to set up their fax 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 Canceling a Scheduled Job, page 6-5.)

For details about the Polling function, our fax-back system 1-800-521-2846 (USA), 1-800-681-9838 (From within Canada) and request Document #: 20918.

Some fax machines do not respond to the polling function.
