Fax Send Header Requirements
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other
electronic device, including a fax machine, to send any message unless such message clearly contains in a margin
at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent
and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message and the telephone
number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. The telephone number provided may
not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.
For instructions on programming the Fax Send Header information, refer to the section of the

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices that can be connected to a
telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line can result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs does not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices
that can be connected to a line, as determined by the RENs, contact the local Telephone Company. For products
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point, for example, 03 is a REN of 0.3. For earlier products,
the REN is shown separately on the label.
To order the correct service from the local Telephone Company, you could also have to quote the codes in the
following list:
• Facility Interface Code (FIC) = 02LS2
• Service Order Code (SOC) = 9.0Y
