<p>The present invention includes an open-ended set of cover sheet forms (20) that may be readily interpreted by the fax server system. In this system a first standardized cover sheet (12) is designed to accept hand printed characters. This first cover sheet is then transmitted to special fax server (42) to create an alternative, fully detached cover sheet for automatic transmission to its specific recipient. Labor is minimized by allowing the sender to hand print a minimal amount of highly constrained telephone numbers, or the initials of the recipient onto a draft cover sheet when a mailing list has been previously stored in memory. The first cover sheet is optionally automatically replaced by a final neatly printer cover sheet (44) in which the abbreviated information is expanded using prestored information to provide sufficient information to allow the secondary fax message cover sheets to be routed by a human or a machine. The present invention acts as a bridge between today's manually prepared cover sheets and E-mail systems that automatically route and store messages.</p> |
