- Please note that you are describing CCITT Rec. T.6 encoding. Group 4 is a
- protocol and terminal specification. T.6 specifies a compression method
- called MMR, Modified Modified READ.
-
- Both Group 3 fax and Group 4 fax can use T.6 compression. It is the default
- for G4 and an option for G3.
-
- CCITT is now publishing their recommendations as separate publications.
- However, it will not republish unrevised ones from the Blue Book.
