It allows only a fax cover to be sent: not any pages beyound that.

A few things you missed by not reading the Help files: To send a fax from a Windows application Open or create the document in any Windows application that has a print option. On the File menu, click Print, select an installed fax printer from the drop-down list, and then click OK. Follow the instructions in Send Fax Wizard. To send a scanned document Verify that you have a scanner installed. For more information, see Scanners and Cameras Help. Use the Imaging Preview application to scan the document. For more information on using scanning devices, see Image Preview Help. In the Imaging Preview application, press CTRL+P to print the image. Select an installed fax printer from the drop-down list and then click OK. You can also send a cover page fax from the Start menu. Click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, point to Fax, and then click Send a fax. From Fax Console and the Start menu you can only send a cover page fax, and you enter your fax message as the cover page note. A cover page fax is useful for short fax messages. You cannot send attachments with a cover page fax. If you fax a document from a Windows application the Send Fax Wizard opens, and you can choose whether to include a cover page with your fax. There are many more helpful instructions, but basically, to send other than a coversheet with a quick message, you open scanner software, word processor, etc., and "print" to the fax. hth, -- Joe =o)
