CHAPTER SIX
Polling
Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another machine. You can
use your MFC to “poll” other machines, or you can have someone poll
your MFC.
All parties involved in polling need to set up their machines to
accommodate 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. (See “Setup for Polling Transmit” in chap. 5.)
Some machines do not respond to the polling function.
Secure Polling
Secure Polling is a way to keep your documents and others’ from falling
into the wrong hands while the MFC are 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.
Setup for Polling Receive
Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax
from it.
