Mac Fax: Creating Fax Gateway Account Cover Pages
Article ID: 81342

You can configure the Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks Gateway to Fax to send a cover page with each fax transmission. You need to first create a cover page using any non-PostScript application that has printing capabilities.


 * 1) Leave the top 2 to 3 inches of the document blank because transmission information is placed at the top of the page when a cover page is used.
 * 2) In the Chooser, select MailSender.
 * 3) Print the document. When the MailSender print dialog opens, click the Save File radio button.
 * 4) When the "Save Image File As" dialog appears, click the Formats button and select "FAXGATE Cover Page" from the list of formats. Save the file and copy it to the master Fax gateway server's hard disk where it will be safe from accidental deletion.
 * 5) At the Macintosh serving as the master Fax gateway server, sign into Mail as the Network Manager.
 * 6) Choose Gateway Accounts from the Mail menu and click the Modify radio button.
 * 7) Select a gateway account.
 * 8) Click the Cover Page button and select any cover page file that you have previously created. Each gateway account can have a unique cover page assigned to it. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 to set the cover page for other gateway accounts.
