Of course "fax" is a shortening of "facsimile", so early machines were often called "facsimile machines" and people referred to sending a fax as "sending a facsimile". A couple of other names, are telefax and telecopier. Today, a common kind of machine is a multi-function machine that is a copier/scanner/printer/fax. These are called multi-function machines, multi-function printers, or all-in-one's.

Full form of FAX machine?
Fax is a shortened version of facsimile. A facsimile machine is a combination copier-telephone system. That is, you put a document in the fax machine, enter a phone number, push a start button and the machine dials the number entered (it should be a number of another fax machine) and makes a copy of the document on the receiving fax machine. Fax machines are currently becoming obsolete because most computer printers are also scanners that can put a document placed on it directly into a computer file that can be sent to another party via email.
