Cover Pages

Faxes are often accompanied by a cover page that specifies from whom it was sent, to whom it was sent,

the date, and other details about the sending and receiving parties.

Using Stock Cover Pages

The FaxFinder system offers several ready-made (stock) cover pages that can be used. These stock

cover pages can also be modified or customized to meet individual needs (see “Creating or Modifying

Cover Page Styles” later in this chapter).

In this section, we present an example of using a stock cover page.

1. We will send the fax from the Windows Notepad program. (In this program, one sets the printer by

going to File | Page Setup | Printer | Properties | Name and, in the drop-down list, set “Multi-Tech

FaxFinder” as the target printer, and click OK).

2. In Notepad, we select Print to send the file as a fax via the FaxFinder.
