What goes on a fax cover sheet
A cover sheet carries the sender’s name, company and fax number, and the same for the person receiving it. It also carries today’s date and the number of pages, usually counting the cover sheet itself as page 1. A short message says what is attached and whether the reader needs to do anything with it.
Some offices add a confidentiality line at the bottom for private pages, something like: “This fax may contain confidential information intended only for the person named above.”
Does the cover sheet count as a page?
Most online fax services count the cover sheet as the first page of your send. A 3-page contract sent with a cover sheet goes out as 4 pages. We checked the pricing pages of 2 online fax services on October 28, 2026. Check the vendor’s own pricing page for what counts toward your plan’s page limit.
What to leave off a fax cover sheet
The cover sheet is often visible at the receiving machine before anyone picks it up. Keep account numbers, patient names and other private details off it, and put that information on the pages underneath instead.
