CHAPTER FIVE
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 “Setup for Polling Transmit” in chap. 6.)
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 fax machines 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.
