The FAX machine has a sensor that reads the paper or document. Standard methods are used to encode the black and white areas of the paper. These codes are then transmitted through the telephone line to the recipient. At the recipients end, there is a special type of mechanism that marks the paper.

TELEX is a telegraphic message-transfer service. This service comprises a network of teleprinters. If you are a subscriber to a TELEX service, then you can send and receive textual data.  By using a teleprinter’s keyboard, the destination call number is typed and a communication channel is opened. A message is typed, which is then converted into an electrical signal and passed on to the destination teleprinter. At the destination, the message is then printed or stored in some other repository. In the banking and brokerage sectors, TELEX messages are used to electronically confirm high-value transactions.
