In addition, this file format can be extended as the need arises. The following modes are supported:

Minimal Black and White: This mode uses binary MH compression (T.4).

Extended Black and White: This mode uses binary MH, MR and MMR compression (T.4 and T.6).

Lossless JBIG Black and White: This mode uses JBIG compression (T.85, T.82).

Lossy Color and Grayscale: This mode uses JPEG compression (T.42, T.81).
