More info?)
Hi Randy. I sent you my Email address a couple of days ago but I have not
received a response. I went back to the Fax Wizard to the Cover Page window.
There is a box with a check mark that says " Select a Cover page template
with the following information" then it gives you a menu of Genereic,
Confidential ect. This box with the check mark is gray. In other words I
cannot change the check mark. All I want to do is send a fax without a Cover
Page. There is no window that gives you this option. I have Windows XP Home.
