duplicator that transmits the copy by wire or radio
"The old office relied on a facsimile to send urgent documents across town instantly via telephone lines."
A copy or reproduction.
"The museum displayed an ancient manuscript alongside a facsimile of its original pages."
To send via a facsimile machine; to fax.
"I need to call you and ask that you fax me the signed contract immediately."
In plain English: To facsimile something means to make an exact copy of it, usually by scanning and printing out a document or image.
"The fax machine will not let you facsimile that document until you insert another coin."
Usage: Use this verb when referring specifically to sending documents electronically through a dedicated fax machine, rather than emailing or printing them out. It is often interchangeable with the noun "fax," but strictly denotes the act of transmission itself.
The word comes from the Latin phrase fac simile, which literally means "make like." It entered English to describe a copy that is made to look exactly like an original document.
