Fax Machine 175


Fax Machine


The first fax machine was patented in 1843, and it has gradually developed into one of the most important tools in any office setting. Modern fax machines became common in most offices around the 1970s and have been a staple ever since.

The fax machine can transmit documents over telephone wires, resulting in a simple way to get copies of paperwork to business contacts, even from across the country. It's basically a combination of a scanner, a modem, and a printer. Some fax machines connect to computers and can fax and print without the use of a separate machine. Other fax machines are built directly into a regular printer, making them ideal for use in busy offices where multiple machines are necessary.
