    This document is a revised version of RFC 2301. The revisions,
    summarized in the list attached as Annex B, are based
    on discussions and suggestions for improvements that have been
    made since RFC 2301 was issued in March 1998, and on the results of
    independent implementations and interoperability testing.

    This RFC 2301 revision describes the Tag Image File Format (TIFF)
    representation of image data specified by the International
    Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) Recommendations for black-and-white
    and color facsimile. This file format specification is commonly known
    as TIFF for Fax eXtended (TIFF-FX). It formally defines minimal,
    extended, and lossless Joint Bi-level Image experts Group (JBIG)
    profiles (Profiles S, F, J) for black-and-white fax and base JPEG,
    lossless JBIG, and Mixed Raster Content profiles (Profiles C, L, M)
    for color and grayscale fax. These profiles correspond to the content
    of the applicable ITU-T Recommendations.

    This document is a product of the Internet Fax Working Group of the
    IETF.

    This is now a Draft Standard Protocol.

    This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
    the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
    for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
    "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
    standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
    of this memo is unlimited.

    This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
    Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
    should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be
    added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
    be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
