Creating Cover Pages

Other Related Topics...

The FaxPress Enterprise can attach a corporate or personal, default or customized cover page as the first page to an outgoing fax. Typically, a cover page contains recipient and sender information. A cover page can also include additional text, graphics, and substitution variables.

Typical substitution variables might include the recipient's name and fax number, your return voice number and fax number, the date and time, and a brief message. The variable information corresponds to the Send Fax interface information fields.

For fax broadcasting or other kinds of high volume faxing, using imprint headers may be more practical than using cover pages. See Using the Imprint Header for more information.

Personal and Corporate Cover Pages

There are two types of cover pages for the FaxPress Enterprise:

Personal Cover Page — Personal cover pages are used only for your own outgoing faxes. You can create up to eight personal cover pages and choose between them at the time you send a fax. All Personal cover pages created and published from the Administrator account automatically become available to all users.

Corporate Cover Page — Corporate cover pages are used by default for faxes of users without personal cover pages. If you are a FaxPress Enterprise Administrator, or user with Administrator privileges, you can create a corporate cover page. Users may also select a corporate rather than personal cover page for their fax.

Cover Page Templates

The Personal Folders view provides access to three Cover Page Templates – Generic, Urgent and Confidential – in both .doc and .cce formates, for you to use in creating custom cover pages. The most convenient, reliable way to create a new, customized cover page is to modify an existing template. The sample templates provide the fax keyword fields required for cover pages used with the FaxPress Enterprise.

The Cover Page Templates folder includes two sets of three templates each:

Castelle Cover Page Editor Templates – created using the PCL-based Castelle Cover Page Editor, Castelle Cover Page Editor Templates support English-only cover pages.

WordPad Templates – created using WordPad, these cover page templates, in addition to supporting English, also support the use of international characters on your cover pages. The WordPad cover page templates may also be modified using Microsoft Word.

The most convenient, reliable way to create a new, customized cover page is to use or modify an existing template. Castelle strongly recommends that you use the provided Cover Page Templates to create your personal and company Cover Pages.

International (Non-English) Character Support

For the Enterprise to support the use of international characters on fax cover pages, fax cover page templates must be created and saved using either Microsoft WordPad or Word. Microsoft WordPad supports international characters (including English characters) in the templates and content of your fax cover and message body pages.

See Cover Pages for International Character Support for information on creating corporate cover pages that will support the use of non-English characters.
