First, "Fax" is simply military shorthand for, "Facsimile (fack-simm-uh-lee).

The Scot, Alexander Bain, invented the facsimile machine in the year 1843 using the technology of Samuel F.B. Morse, who had invented the telegraph machine a few years earlier.

The first fax machine was created by Alexander Bain, an inventor from Scotland. He received a patent for his invention in 1843, before the telephone was invented. Though this was more than 100 years before it became a part of every day life.
