TIFF-FX (Tag Image File Format Fax eXtended), is defined in detail by RFC 2301 "File Format for Internet Fax" [TIFF-FX].
TIFF-FX（标签图像文件格式传真扩展版）由RFC 2301“互联网传真文件格式”[TIFF-FX]详细定义。
While a brief scope and feature description is provided in this section as background information, the reader is directed to the original TIFF-FX specification (File Format for Internet Fax) to obtain complete feature and technical details.
虽然本节提供了简要的范围和功能描述作为背景信息，但读者应参考原始TIFF-FX规范（互联网传真文件格式），以获得完整的功能和技术细节。
This document defines a TIFF-based file format specification for enabling standardized messaging-based fax over the Internet. It specifies the TIFF fields and field values required for compatibility with the existing ITU-T Recommendations for Group 3 black-and-white, grayscale and color facsimile. TIFF has historically been used for handling fax image files in applications such as store-and-forward messaging. Implementations that support this file format specification for import/export may elect to support it as a native format. This document recommends a TIFF file structure that is compatible with low-memory and page-level streaming implementations.
本文档定义了一个基于TIFF的文件格式规范，用于在Internet上启用标准化的基于消息传递的传真。它规定了与第3组黑白、灰度和彩色传真现有ITU-T建议兼容所需的TIFF字段和字段值。TIFF历来用于处理应用程序（如存储和转发消息）中的传真图像文件。支持此文件格式规范进行导入/导出的实现可以选择将其作为本机格式支持。本文档推荐与低内存和页面级流媒体实现兼容的TIFF文件结构。
Unless otherwise noted, the current TIFF specification [TIFF] and selected TIFF Technical Notes [TTN1, TTN2] are the primary references for describing TIFF and defining TIFF fields. This document is the primary reference for defining TIFF field values for fax applications.
除非另有说明，当前的TIFF规范[TIFF]和选定的TIFF技术说明[TTN1，TTN2]是描述TIFF和定义TIFF字段的主要参考。本文档是定义传真应用程序TIFF字段值的主要参考。
Some of the features of TIFF-FX are:
TIFF-FX的一些功能包括：
- TIFF-FX is capable of describing bilevel, grayscale, palette-color, full-color and mixed content image data.
- TIFF-FX能够描述双层、灰度、调色板颜色、全色和混合内容图像数据。
- TIFF-FX includes a number of compression schemes that allow developers to choose the best space or time tradeoff for their applications.
- TIFF-FX包括许多压缩方案，允许开发人员为其应用程序选择最佳的空间或时间权衡。
- TIFF-FX is designed to be extensible and to evolve gracefully as new needs arise.
- TIFF-FX设计为可扩展，并随着新需求的出现而优雅地发展。
This document defines the image/tiff-fx MIME sub-type to refer to TIFF-FX Profiles J, C, L and M encoded image data and any future TIFF-FX extensions, or a subset. The image/tiff-fx content type may be used when black-and-white image data is encoded using TIFF-FX Profiles S or F, or a subset.
本文档定义了图像/tiff-fx MIME子类型，以引用tiff-fx配置文件J、C、L和M编码的图像数据以及任何未来的tiff-fx扩展或子集。当使用tiff-fx配置文件S或F或子集对黑白图像数据进行编码时，可以使用图像/tiff fx内容类型。

Encoding Considerations: This media type consists of binary data. The base64 encoding should be used on transports that cannot accommodate binary data directly.
编码注意事项：此媒体类型由二进制数据组成。base64编码应用于不能直接容纳二进制数据的传输。
Security considerations:
安全考虑：
TIFF-FX utilizes a structure which can store image data and attributes of this image data. The fields defined in the TIFF-FX specification are of a descriptive nature and provide information that is useful to facilitate viewing and rendering of images by a recipient. As such, the fields currently defined in the TIFF-FX specification do not in themselves create additional security risks, since the fields are not used to induce any particular behavior by the recipient application.
TIFF-FX利用一种可以存储图像数据和该图像数据属性的结构。TIFF-FX规范中定义的字段具有描述性，并提供有助于收件人查看和呈现图像的信息。因此，TIFF-FX规范中当前定义的字段本身不会产生额外的安全风险，因为这些字段不用于诱导接收方应用程序的任何特定行为。
TIFF-FX has an extensible structure, so that it is theoretically possible that fields could be defined in the future which could be used to induce particular actions on the part of the recipient, thus presenting additional security risks, but this type of capability is not supported in the referenced TIFF-FX specification. Indeed, the definition of fields which would include such processing instructions is inconsistent with the goals and spirit of the TIFF-FX specification.
TIFF-FX具有可扩展的结构，因此理论上可以在将来定义字段，这些字段可用于引导接收方采取特定行动，从而带来额外的安全风险，但参考TIFF-FX规范中不支持此类功能。事实上，包含此类处理指令的字段定义与TIFF-FX规范的目标和精神不一致。
Interoperability considerations:
互操作性注意事项：
The ability of implementations to handle all the defined applications (or profiles within applications) of TIFF-FX may not be ubiquitous. As a result, implementations may decode and attempt to display the encoded TIFF-FX image data only to determine that the image cannot be rendered.
实现处理TIFF-FX的所有已定义应用程序（或应用程序中的配置文件）的能力可能并不普遍。因此，实现可能会解码并尝试仅显示编码的TIFF-FX图像数据，以确定图像无法渲染。
