'''To ''fax''''' (acronym: ''Fa''csimile ''Transmission'') means to send the image of a hard-copy document, page out of a [[book]], etc., over the [[Internet]], the public switched [[telephone]] network, or some other network.
The first ''fax'' machines came on-line in the 1980's. They replaced the earlier ''telex'' (tele-transmission) systems most businesses then used. Fax is vastly superior because it:
# Can send a document with only a few seconds of hands-on time at the ending or receiving end.
# Can send a ''holographic'' or handwritten document, or a document bearing a handwritten signature.
# Can send an image.
