Send a fax with a cover page
A cover page tells the people at a busy fax machine who the fax is for. FastFax builds one for you, so you don't need a template.
Send a fax nowFastFax lets you send a fax online from your phone or computer for as little as 2¢ a page, with no subscription. US fax numbers only, up to 100 pages per fax.
What goes on the FastFax cover page
- To: the person or company receiving it
- Attn: a department or person (optional)
- From: your name, and your email is prefilled when you're signed in
- Subject and a short message
- Added for you: the fax number, the date, and the total page count
How to add it
- Upload or scan your pages on fastfax.app.
- On the fax number step, turn on Cover page and fill in the fields.
- The preview shows the cover page first, followed by your document.
The cover page counts as 1 page, so a 4-page document with a cover uses 5 page credits. It can be added to a fax of up to 100 pages.
When you should use one
Use a cover page for doctors' offices, hospitals, insurance companies, government offices and courts. Many of these share one fax machine across a department, and a cover page with an Attn line and a case, claim or account number in the subject helps it reach the right desk.
When you can skip it
If you're faxing to a person's own fax number, or the form you're sending already has their name and your details on page one, a cover page isn't needed.
