2. (Telecommunications) A method for reproducing documents,
drawing, or other planar image at a remote location by
converting the document into coded electronic signals at
one point, transmitting data via telephone line or radio
signals to the remote point, and converting the signals
back into a likeness of the original image. The device
used at each end to convert the image to and from
electronic signals was originally called Facsimile
telegraph, then telefax machine, and now more commonly fax
machine. The same process, using the same data
transmission protocols, is now performed not only by
devices dedicated exclusively to the telefax process, but
also by computers and combined copying/scanning/telefax
machines. Also called telefax or fax.
