facsimile transmission

Facsimile transmission, commonly known as faxing, is a method of sending scanned printed material electronically. It works by converting a physical document into electronic signals, which are then transmitted over a phone line or the internet to another fax machine. The receiving machine reconstructs the signals into an exact copy of the original document. This process allows for quick and secure sharing of documents without mailing or physical transfer, making it useful for business and legal communications where a signed or official copy is needed promptly.
