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:
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.
