How to Fax a Cover Sheet
Fax machines are still widely used in offices everywhere to transfer messages and documents to people. Providing a cover sheet with the documents you fax can tell the person who receives the fax a number of things. Cover sheets often include who the fax is addressed to and any additional important information that is not included in the accompanying documents.
Items needed:
- Paper
- Printer
- Computer with Internet
- Fax machine
- Type up a cover sheet to go with the other documents you intend to fax. Be sure to include the name of the person the fax is addressed to, their phone number, your phone number, the date and any additional contact info you’d like. Also, include any other information you’d like the recipient to know that isn't written in the documents you’re faxing. Already prepared fax cover sheets can be found and printed out online if you do not wish to create one.
- Print out your cover sheet when it is completed.
- Organize the documents you want to fax, and place the cover sheet on top. Make sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions for the fax machine to understand how to place documents in it so they are received in the correct order.
- Lay the organized documents onto the fax machine’s tray. Type in the number one, the area code and phone number of the recipient using the number pad on the fax machine.
- Press the send button on the fax machine to send the cover sheet and additional documents to the number you entered.
- Wait for a confirmation to arrive at the fax machine to make sure everything was sent properly.
