When sending a FAX, do you include the cover sheet with the number of pages?
Example: You are sending a document that has 3 pages – do you indicate 3 or 4 (3 pages + cover sheet) pages being sent?

Yes. 4 (including cover sheet)
Yes, usually. Total number of pages being sent.
Typically, yes, but it’s up to you.
You can use:
"Pages: 3, including cover"
or
"Pages: 2, excluding cover"
I think including the cover is more common, because people want to ensure they’ve received all pages.
Our cover sheets here at work specifically say "Number of pages (including cover sheet) ____" just to avoid confusion.
Not necessarily. Only if:
1. goes to a place who don’t know us
2. has special instructions on it.
The best way to deal with this (and I devised it in 1990 when the fax started) to include your address tel# etc… include the other party address and name on top of your letter. This way you waist less paper and time.
Usually say "1+XXX"being XX the numer of pages excluding the cover.
On the cover sheet I put, 4 pages and in brackets i say "incl cover page."
Mention it as "No. of Pages : 4 (including cover sheet)"
