The use of the fax machine to transmit images via For many years, facsimile machines remained cumbersome, expensive and difficult to operate, but in 1966 Xerox introduced the Magnafax Telecopier, a smaller, 46-pound (17 kg) facsimile machine that was easier to use and could be connected to any telephone line. Using this machine, a letter-sized document took about six minutes to transmit. The process was slow, but it represented a major technological step. In the late 1970s, Japanese companies entered the market, and soon a new generation of faster, smaller and more efficient fax machines became available. Hope that sheds some light on your question.

The answer above is on track. The GroupIII standard, which got the transmission times below 1 minute per page with better image quality with true digital processing, coupled with lower long distance rates from the breakup of AT&T around the same time, really made the technology attractive in the early 80's. The business just kind of exploded after that.

Hi Spixxy, Fax is short for Facsimile. It was widely used in the 80's as what Jalex137 and Anonymous said. I won't go through the history but the future of faxing. Nowadays you only need online connection, a computer or mobile device to send one. It's the dawn of internet faxing! http://www.ringcentral.co.uk
