Cover Pages Settings (SendFaxMS.exe) - Microsoft Fax

Parent Previous Next

On this page you can specify default cover page settings that will be used when sending a fax using SendFaxMS.exe command line utility.


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 by the /CoverPage and /CoverInfo command line options, see in the SendFaxMS.exe command line options - Microsoft Fax and Cover Page Settings (SendFaxMS.exe options, Microsoft Fax) chapters of this user manual.
