Why Do Computer-Generated Faxes Have a Header/Footer? (2/94)

When I fax a document from the fax modem from my Macintosh to a fax machine,
each page has a header or footer with my name, phone number, date and time or
transmission and other information.

Why is this? Can I turn this off?


Federal Communications Commission regulations require that all telephone
facsimile machines (including fax modems) manufactured on or after December
20, 1992, print identifying information at the top or bottom of each
transmitted page.  The identifying information must include the name of the
sender, the date and time the fax is sent and the telephone number of the
sender.

You cannot turn off this identifying information.
