A fax machine sends a copy of a piece of paper to whoever you send it to.You can fax maps or diagrams that are difficult to explain on the phone.

Fax machines are like photocopiers. The image is scanned line by line. It is converted to digital data, then sent down the telephone line. Finally, the receiving fax machine prints it.
