Cover Page Settings (SendFax.exe options)

Parent Previous Next


Cover Page Settings


A cover page contains user-specified information about a fax sender and a recipient, and often a short message, together with system information, such as transmission date and time. You can use cover pages in different ways. You can send a fax that consists only of a cover page. Your fax message will be included as a cover page note. Alternatively, you can send a cover page in addition to another fax document. For example, you might fax a Microsoft Word document and include a cover page with it. In this case, the cover page will be added to the document and sent as the first page in the fax.


On this page you can override the default settings for cover page specified in the Cover Pages Settings (SendFax.exe).


Include cover page (override)

Select this check box to override the default Include cover pages with faxes option specified in the Cover Pages Settings (SendFax.exe). On the right, select True to include cover page with fax (/CoverPage=true command line option). Or select False to not Include cover page with fax (/CoverPage=false command line option). To send a fax consisting only of a cover page, select the check box and then select True on the right (/CoverPage=true is a required command line option in this case).
