		Group III (G3) A set of standards for facsimile (fax) machines published by the ITU-T in 1980 as T.4.  Group III devices convert a document to digital form and employ a run-length encoding algorithm, as described below, that compresses the document prior to transmission. Group III machines are backward-compatible with Group I and Group II devices. See also  backward-compatible,  compression,  facsimile,  Group I, Group II,  ITU-T,  run-length encoding,  T.30, and  T.4.   |
