The FAX file extension, short for "facsimile", is primarily associated with digital fax documents. These files are typically saved in TIFF format and are used to store images of documents sent or received via fax software. Historically, fax technology allowed the transmission of scanned printed material over telephone networks, a practice that became widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, FAX files facilitate the digital handling of these documents, enabling easy archiving and viewing with compatible image viewers.
The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.
