Polling

Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use the fax machine to ‘poll’ other machines, or you can have someone poll the fax machine.

Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax machines for Polling. When someone polls the fax 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.

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 machine 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.
