Fax
The word 'fax' can be used as a noun or a verb, e.g. a fax, to fax someone. It comes from the word facsimile, meaning an exact copy or reproduction. As its name suggests, a fax machine will send a duplicate of the message, document, design, or photo that is fed into it.
Faxing is a means of telecommunication that has developed very quickly over the past years. There are various models of fax machine which connect to a telephone socket and which work on a system similar to the telephone system. Charges are measured in telephone units and therefore vary according to the time of day and where the fax is being sent.
The different models of fax machine offer a wide range of facilities, including automatic paper feeders, deferred transmission (faxes are sent during cheap-rate periods), automatic redialling if the receiver's machine is engaged, and pre-programmed keys for instant dialing.
T
he
advantages of fax include instant reception of documents, and
documentary evidence of what has been transferred. A document can be
relayed from one source to hundreds of other receivers, for example,
if the head office of a chain hotel wants to circulate a memo or
report to its branches.
