- Description
- This format is used to compress TIFF images when sending them via fax machines. This format helps reduce the data transmission time. Group 3 eliminates redundant data during compression in order to reduce file size. The standard 10:1 compression ratio may be increased to the user's preferences, but it can lead to a significant loss of image quality.
- BRF files are braille formatted files that have plain texts with hard page ejects and hard returns. They are non-proprietary standard files for sighted viewing and related to Duxbury Braille Translator.
