The fax machine was invented in 1843 by a Scottish person named Alexaner Bain.

The first practical fax machine was invented in the 1920s by Dr. Arthur Korn in Germany, who developed a system to transit photographs via telephone lines. This technology was refined into a commercial product known as the “Funktelegramm”

The second group of fax machines began to be produced in the 1970s while the third group of fax machines were introduced in the 1980s. Every succeeding group of fax machines was more advanced and faster in comparison to the previous generations.
