TCR to FAX conversion is the process of transforming a TCR (Teleca/Brew compressed image/text container often used for eBooks and mobile content) file into a FAX (standard facsimile image format compatible with fax machines and fax-capable software) file so the content can be transmitted or archived in fax-compatible form. This conversion decodes TCR's compressed pages and re-encodes them as monochrome or grayscale fax images, preserving layout and text legibility for transmission or printing.
