Add a fax cover sheet before your actual fax message and include more details about your fax

What is a fax cover sheet?

A fax cover sheet is a page that is faxed to your recipient before your actual fax message and is used to identify the sender, the intended recipient, the subject, and maybe a few lines about the content of the attached documents. Fax cover sheets can be used for different purposes, from protecting the content of the actual fax message to adding more details about the intended recipient.
