Cover Pages Settings

Parent Previous Next

On this page you can specify default cover page settings that will be used when sending a fax.


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.



The options below can be overridden in the Fax Voip T.38 Console Send Fax Wizard when creating a fax, or using SendFax.exe command line tool.


Click to configure sender information

Click to switch to the Sender Information page to configure default sender information.


Include cover page with faxes

Specifies whether the cover page will be added to the document and sent as the first page in the fax.


When sending faxes consisting only of a cover page:

Resolution

Select 204x196 dpi (Fine) if you want to send cover page only faxes in high-quality resolution (Fine). Or select 204x98 dpi (Normal) if you want to send cover page only faxes in Normal resolution. In the case of adding cover page to the main document, the resolution of the cover page is assigned automatically.

Compression

Compression format of the output TIFF file when creating cover page only fax. The following formats can be selected: PACKBITS, CCITTFAX3, CCITTFAX4, LZW, NO COMPRESSION. This option does not affect the quality, the time of transmitting and other properties of the fax when sending. This option is ignored in the case of adding cover page to the main document.


Use common cover page template

If this option selected, the common cover page template will be used. You can choose one of the following predefined templates: Confidential, FYI, Generic and Urgent. Common cover page files are usually stored in the following folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows NT\MSFax\Common Coverpages. Please note that these are standard templates included in the operating system.

Use personal cover page template stored in a file on the local computer

If this option selected, the specified personal cover page template stored in a file on the local computer will be used. Click the button to the right of the text box to choose the desired cover page template. Personal cover page files are usually stored in the Personal CoverPages folder: C:\Users\<Account Name>\Documents\Fax\Personal CoverPages, but you can save your cover page template in any other folder on your hard drive and then specify it in the Fax Voip T.38 Console settings.
