    MH Modified  Huffman (MH)  is a  compression method for decreasing the amount  of data that  needs to  be transmitted
    between  the fax machines  to  transfer the image recommended by ITU -T  T.4. MH  is a  codebook -based run -length
    encoding  scheme  optimized to  efficiently  compress white space. As most faxes consist mostly  of white space, this
    minimizes the transmission time of most faxes.
    MMR Modified  Modified  READ  (MMR) is a  compression method recommended by ITU -T  T.6.
    Modem A  device that  modulates a  carrier  signal  to  encode digital information, and  also  demodulates  such a  carrier  signal
    to  decode transmitted information.
    MR Modified  Read  (MR)  is a  compression method recommended by ITU -T  T.4. MR encodes  the first scanned line  using
    MH. The  next line  is compared to  the first, the differences determined,  and  then  the differences are encoded  and
    transmitted.
