You can program your Brother machine to transmit an electronic cover page with the faxes you send. This cover page will show your Station I.D. and, depending on the situation, 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 can include one of three preset comments on your cover page or you can program your own comment.

You can send an electronic cover page before every fax you transmit or you can set it to be sent with the next fax only.
