Option 2: Custom Cover Sheet Document

  1. Create a PDF document that acts as the cover sheet by including all required information (e.g., company logo, practice info and/or privacy statement, etc.) in the desired layout.
  2. In the app's left navigation bar, click the Fax icon.

  3. Click + to create a new fax.
  4. Enter the destination fax number in the To field.
  5. In the Cover field, confirm None appears. This ensures the app default cover sheet will not be sent.
  6. Make sure you leave the Subject field empty. If you add a Subject line, the cover will be automatically changed to Default and it will add the Default Cover Sheet template to the fax you are sending.
