The "header" here is sometimes called a "tagline".  It's part of the image 
that the fax sender transmits.  If the coverpage does not contain this 
information then the tagline, in the USA, is required to have the date 
and the fax number of the sender.  This is an FCC rule, and a sender can 
get fined for not having them.
