telefaxes

Sent page copies

Telefaxes is the plural of telefax, a formal or dated term for fax—a document transmitted electronically over telephone lines, or the machine that sends and receives such documents.

The full form telefax (from "telecopier facsimile") appears mainly in older business correspondence and legal documents: Please send the signed contract via telefax.

Modern usage strongly favors the clipped form fax.
