[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] knowing history dates is very important

[Robert Primak]

 But the telephone was invented in 1876. So those early FAX machines must have been using telegraph lines. Amazingly, this FAX precursor did in fact simulate a 2D image.  The Samurai could even have FAXed a Japanese print! 
"The first recognizable version of what we consider the telephone fax was invented in 1964 by the Xerox company, but the technology that led to that advancement was created much earlier. In fact, it was Alexander Baine in 1843 who invented the electric printing telegraph. His development simulated a 2D image on paper, taking the limited communication potential of the telegraph to another level."
