Cobwebb Fax cover pages are similar to Standard Text members, but contain special codes to include the information which is required in a fax cover page. This can be found from the Cobwebb Fax & Email Menu - System Maintenance - Maintenance Menu - Option 7.

The cover page can be sent at the beginning of the fax, in which case it is referred to as a 'Cover Page Logo' or it can be sent at the end of the fax, in which case it is referred to as a 'Cover Page Signature'.  A cover page signature will normally be used only where a signature is required on every fax.

Creating a cover page

The same editor is used to create a cover page as is used for creating standard text and faxes, See the Cobwebb Editor.

When creating a cover page it is necessary to include a company logo and details of to whom the fax is addressed.

The logo is included using *G and selecting a graphics member.

Note : the graphics member must have already been created.

The logo can include the whole page; any text which is specified will overwrite the logo.

The following address details will be automatically included from the information provided when the fax was created, the information will be output from the position where the '&' is typed:

If a Form Feed is specified in the Cover Page Format (see Cover Page Format parameter in User Profile) the text will start on the next page, if A Form Feed is not specified the text will start on the same page as the cover page details.
