Muratec MFX-1500 manual Cover, Toggling the cover

Beyond the basics

Special features

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

Cover page

For your greater convenience, your fax machine can store a cover page to send at the beginning of each outgoing fax. This page includes the current date and time, your Location ID and your fax number (as stored in the TTI) and a message of up to 40 characters in length. The information appears in a box similar to this:

Fax Message From:

May 26 1998 14:00

Name:	And Sew It Goes Co.
Fax Number:	972-555-2009

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.

How large a bottom margin will result when a thermal-paper fax machine prints the cover page varies from one model to the next. The only way to tell for sure is to send a transmission — with, obviously, the cover page feature activated (see right column) —- to the specific thermal-paper machine in question and see what happens.

Toggling the cover page

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Press PROGRAM, K, 1, ENTER. The display shows:

Cover Page: Off

Program/Enter

3. To tell the fax machine it should send a cover page before each document you transmit, press PROGRAM.

Cover Page: On

Program/Enter

Note: If you want to abort the operation so the cover page feature won’t work, press PROGRAM again (so that “Off” appears) and press STOP.

3. Press ENTER to save the setting.

Now, the cover page feature is working but your message line (shown in the example, left, as “We appreciate your business. Thank you!) is blank. To enter that message, see “Entering the cover page message” ( next page).
