ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes an open-ended set of cover sheet forms that may be readily interpreted by the fax server system. In this system a first standardized cover sheet is designed to accept hand printed characters. This first cover sheet is then transmitted to a special fax server as part of this invention 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 the memory associated with the special fax server. The first cover sheet is optionally automatically replaced by a second and final neatly printed cover sheet in which the abbreviated information is expanded using pre-stored information to provide sufficient information to allow the secondary fax message cover sheets to be routed by a human or a machine to be delivered to the intended recipient. The present invention acts as a bridge between today's manually prepared cover sheets and those capabilities found in E-mail systems that automatically route and store messages as well as processing other non-obvious features.
