Fax, short for facsimile and sometimes called telecopying or telefax, is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material, both text and images, normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output device. The source does not give a single clean inventor and year for the fax machine in its lead, though its history section discusses Alexander Bain's early work.
