Polling
All parties involved in polling need to set up their machines to accommodate polling. When someone
polls the 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
Polling Transmit , page 45.)
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. Anyone who polls to receive a fax must enter the polling secure code.
