Brother MFC-9660 User Manual

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 47.)

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.

Polling Receive is when you call another fax machine to receive a fax from it.
