Beyond the Basics

Special Features

Your fax machine has numerous special features to make your communications easier. We’ll cover them here.

Cover Page

Your fax machine offers a cover page transmission option for the documents you send. This feature sends a short cover message before transmitting the rest of the document. This page includes the date and time, your name, fax number and a message of up to 40 characters in length.

Note: This depiction (below) of the cover page shows how the page looks if it’s printed by another plain-paper machine: i.e., it will be a full-length sheet of paper. However, if you transmit a cover page to a fax machine which uses thermal paper rolls, that machine will use only as mush of the thermal paper as is necessary to print the cover page information plus top and bottom margins.

Fax Message From:

11 Apr 97 20:30

Name : Muratec

Fax No.: 555-403-2009

We appreciate your business. Thank you!

Note: If you send to another plain-paper fax machine, that machine will print this cover page as a full-sized page with the information box at the top, followed by the actual document you’re faxing.

If you send to a thermal-paper fax machine, that machine will use only enough thermal paper to print the cover page information box plus top and bottom margins, then proceed to print your faxed document.
