Creating Cover Pages

Other Related Topics...

A cover page is a prepared, fax-ready document that the FaxPress Enterprise can attach as the first page to an outgoing fax or send independently with a short message. 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 the Imprint Header chapter in the Administrator Guide for more information.

Personal and Corporate Cover Pages

There are two types of cover pages for FaxPress Enterprise:

Cover Page Templates

The Personal Folders view provides access to the FaxPress Enterprise Cover Page Templates folder. The most convenient, reliable way to create a new, customized cover page is to use or modify an existing template. The sample templates provide the fax keyword fields required for cover pages used with the FaxPress Enterprise. Castelle strongly recommends that you use the provided Cover Page Templates to create your personal and company Cover Pages.

The Cover Page Templates folder includes two sets of templates:

Both the WordPad Templates folder and the Castelle Cover Page Editor Templates folder each contain Generic, Urgent and Confidential templates for you to use in creating custom cover pages.

The default PCL cover page and the Castelle Cover Page Editor Templates do not support the use of non-English, international characters. If you need to use international characters, create cover pages based on the WordPad templates.

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