Setting Up Your Cover Sheets

It’s generally a good idea to send cover sheets with faxes. You can define some general information to appear on cover sheets in advance so you don’t have to re-type that information every time you send a fax. If you’ve closed the Windows Fax and Scan program, re-open it using the method described earlier in this chapter. Then choose Tools Sender Information from the menu bar. You’ll see the dialog box shown in Figure 35.6.

Windows Fax and Scan offers a small selection of predefined cover pages, but you can also create your own.

The Fax Cover Pages dialog box opens. Then, click New. Figure 35.7 shows the Fax Cover Page Editor program window with a few fields added to the cover page.
