In Calibre is it possible to generate an Epub without a cover page?

When generating an Epub, I click on Epub output > No Default Cover, but it still makes a cover file from the first page of the book.

Background: I currently use Apple Pages to make my ebooks and then export them as an Epub before uploading them to Amazon KDP. If I take the ebook from Apple Pages and run it through Calibre first, it makes it smaller which reduces the delivery fees that Amazon charges. In Apple Pages there is an option to export the book as Epub without a cover. A cover is not need in the Epub file on Amazon KDP, as that services requires a cover to be uploaded separately and then adds it to the final file.
