Set up my Brother machine's electronic cover page
You can program your Brother machine to transmit an electronic cover page with the faxes you send. This cover page will show your Station ID and, depending on the situation, a comment and the number of pages you are faxing. If you are faxing to a One Touch or Speed Dial number, the cover page will include the recipient's name if you stored it with their number.
You must program your Brother machine's Station ID before you can use the electronic cover page feature.
