Polling Polling is the process of retrieving faxes from another fax machine. You can use your machine to 'poll' other machines, or you can have someone poll your machine. Everyone who is involved in Polling needs to set up their fax machines for 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. 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.
