Facsimile message is the full name for what is commonly known as a fax.
It is a technique for scanning one or more sheets of paper, transmitting the images over the telephone network and printing them at a remote destination. Typically the printout is black and white and of quite limited resolution.
It was a revolutionary technology when invented. Much more accessible and versatile than teletype and virtually instant when compared to traditional postal systems. A short document can be sent between any 2 suitably equipped offices in the world within a few minutes.
With the rise in use of email and scanners fax use is declining but still has some applications as many courts give more credibility to faxed documents than email scans.
