I looked this up and the nearest name I came up with was the "copying telegraph." The first fax was invented by Scottish inventor Alexander Bain in 1843. He stated in his patent for his invention "improvements in producing and regulating electric currents and improvements in timepieces and in electric printing and signal telegraphs" In layman's terms a fax machine. Several years earlier Morse had made the first telegraph and the fax machine is from this technology. The early fax sent Morse Code over telegraph wires that was decoded into text. In 1850 a London inventor received a patent for the "copying telegraph." In 1860 a fax machine called the Pantelegraph sent the first fax between Paris and Lyon. In 1895 Ernest Hummel a watchmaker invented a competing device called the Telediagraph. Dr. Aurthur Korn in 1902 invented and improved the fax, the photoelectric fax.
