1 Scope
1.1 This Recommendation defines a document application profile conforming to the T.410 Series of Recommendations.
Its purpose is to specify an interchange format suitable for the interchange of mixed mode documents such as
memoranda, letters and reports that contain characters and raster graphics.
Documents are interchanged only in a formatted form which enables the recipient to only display or print the
document as intended by the originator.
1.2 The features which can be interchanged using this document application profile fall into the following categories:
a) page format features - these concern how the layout of each page of a document will appear when
reproduced;
b) character content and raster graphics layout and imaging features - these concern how the document
content will appear within pages of the reproduced document;
c) character repertoire - these concern the character sets and control functions that make up the document
character content;
d) raster graphics coding - these concern the raster graphics representations and control functions that make
up the document raster graphics content.
Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 1
2 Field of application
2.1 This Recommendation defines a document application profile that is in conformance with the T.410 Series of
Recommendations and that allows mixed mode documents to be interchanged only in a formatted form, which allows a
recipient to reproduce the document as intended by the originator.
2.2 This recommendation defines a document application profile that may be used by any telematic service.
2.3 This document application profile is designed to be independent of the means used to create or to interchange the
encoded documents.
2.4 It is assumed that, when negotiation is performed by the service using this document application profile, all non-
basic features are subject to negotiation.

5 Characteristics supported by this document application profile
5.1 Overview
A mixed mode document is the result of a formatting process and therefore the purpose of this document
application profile is to allow transfer of the complete layout of the interchanged document.
Furthermore, two categories of content are allowed within the same page, namely:
- a character content as used by word processing machines (e.g. basic teletex equipment);
- a raster graphics content as used by facsimile group 4 apparatus.
This section specifies the functional description of the features supported by this document application profile.
5.2 Logical characteristics
Not applicable.
5.3 Layout characteristics
5.3.1 The document layout structure
A document is seen as a succession of pages.
2 Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501
The content of a page may be:
- character content; or
- raster graphics content; or
- both of them.
When different content types are used within the same page, this page must be composed of several blocks.
Each block has a homogeneous content.
5.3.2 Page layout characteristics
5.3.2.1The text area
The text area is the area made available for the positioning and display of the document content. The dimensions
of the text area must be equal to or smaller than the dimensions of the nominal page corresponding to the paper format
used.
The possible paper formats are defined in Recommendation T.561.
Only the vertical orientation of the page is permitted.
5.3.2.2Block
5.3.2.2.1Position and dimension
Each block is positioned in the page and has its own dimensions (independently of the other blocks). Figure
1/T.501 gives an example of a page.

│ 3.3 wFirst application example: THE MIXED MODEw │
│ │
│ This is the possibility of mixing various coding types (characters, pels, │
│geometric primitives, etc.) on the same page of a document. The document │
│architecture is thus used to mark out physical areas (blocks) and associates │
│contents with it so as to reproduce the initial image of the page. │
│ │
│ The CCITT has, during its last study period, standardized the "mixed mode" │
│application for teletex terminals and group 4 facsimile equipments. This applica-│
│tion, described in Recommendation T.72 , only allows at present the mixture of │
│characters and photographic images (facsimile encoded information). │
│ │
│ Figure 10 illustrates the mixed mode application in the form of a layout │
│tree with which leaves of different natures are associated. It is as yet too │
│early to know horticulturists' or agronomists' impressions about this surprising │
│property which electronics can now offer!!! │

Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 3
5.3.2.2.2 Overlay
Within a page, blocks may be positioned in such a way that they intersect partially
or fully, i.e. they share common areas.
All blocks are "transparent", that means that the contents of the intersecting areas
are combined.
5.4 Document layout features
Not applicable.
5.5 Content layout and imaging characteristics
5.5.1The mixed mode document may contain blocks with characters in teletex format and
blocks with raster graphics in facsimile group 4 format.
The characteristics of the content of a block, such as the line spacing or the
character path, are independent of those of other blocks.
All the characteristics cannot be altered anywhere within a block.
5.5.2Character content block
5.5.2.1 General
The character content blocks contain graphic characters and control functions. The
control functions define format effectors such as space or carriage return.
5.5.2.2 Line spacing
This property specifies the distance between successive lines of text.
The basic values are:
w
┌───────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐
│ │ Lines per 25.4 mm │
│ SMU │ (when the scaling │
│ │ factor is one) │
├───────────────────┼──────────────────────────────┤

│ │ │
│ 400 │ 3 │
│ │ │
│ 300 │ 4 │
│ │ │
│ 100 │ 12 │
└───────────────────┴──────────────────────────────┘
The negotiable value is 150 SMU which correspond to 8 lines per 25.4 mm when the
scaling factor is one.
5.5.2.3 Character spacing
This specifies the distance between successive characters on a line of text.
The basic value is 120 SMU which correspond to 10 characters per 25.4 mm when the
scaling factor is one.
The negotiable values are:
w
┌──────────────────┬──────────────────────────────┐

5.5.2.4 Character path
This specifies that direction of progression of successive characters along a line
of characters.
The basic values are 0o (by default) and 90o.
The negotiable value is 270o.
The mentioned values are measured anti-clockwise.
5.5.2.5 Emphasis
This specifies the presentation of the characters. Four modes are available: normal
rendition (by default), underlined, italicized and bold.
5.5.2.6 First character position
The position of the first character, that may be a space, is defined by cartesian
coordinates. 5.5.3 Raster graphics content block
5.5.3.1 General
The content of blocks of raster graphics is defined by the initial offset (by
default, the left top corner) and the dimensions of the array of pixels.
5.5.3.2 Pel transmission density
The basic values are:

5.5.4Received document
This document application profile, being limited to formatted form, does not support
any features to facilitate processing of an interchanged document by a receiver.
6 Specification of the document application profile
6.1 Summary of the technical specification
6.1.1Overview
This section contains the technical specification of the document application
profile MM.1. This is in accordance with Recommendation T.411.
Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 5
MM.1 allows documents to be represented in the formatted form, which allows a
recipient to reproduce the document as intended by the originator.
6.1.2Specification of constituents
This section specifies the required and optional constituents used for the
representation of documents that conform to MM.1. Also, it specifies the content
architectures that may be present in these documents.
Constituents specified as "required" must occur in any document that conforms with
MM.1. Constituents listed as "optional" may or may not be present in the document
depending upon the requirements of the particular document. The document profile
indicates which constituents are present in the document.
6.1.2.1 Required constituents
- a document profile as specified in 6.5;
- layout object descriptions representing a specific layout structure as defined
in 6.3.2.
6.1.2.2 Optional constituents
- layout object class descriptions representing a "partial" generic layout
structure as defined in 6.3.1.
6.1.3Interchange format class
The interchange format class used in this document application profile is "A", as
defined in Recommendation T.415.
6.1.4Object identifiers
The ASN.1 object identifier value to designate the document application profile MM.1
is:
{0020 501 0}
6.2 Logical structure
Not applicable.
6.3 Layout structure
6.3.1The generic layout structure
The generic layout structure is a "partial" structure and its purpose is to provide
for factorization. That is, the "partial" generic layout structure provides for
predefined attributes values and content portions for objects in the specific layout
structure.
The generic layout structure may contain three types of object classes, namely the
document layout root class, the page class and the block class. All are optional.
6.3.2The specific layout structure
The number of hierarchical levels allowed is 3, namely:
- document layout root;
- page;
- block.
The three levels are mandatory. If the content portions are not directly associated
with each block, then the content portions must be derived from a referenced object class
6 Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501
of type block.
Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 7
6.3.3Attributes of layout components
6.3.3.1 Application and classification of attribute for layout component descriptions
The attributes application for MM are defined in Table 1/T.501. The following
notation is used in this table:
The form .../... represents:
object class description/object description
where ... is replaced by:
--- attribute not applicable to either object class or object description;
-- attribute not applicable;
m mandatory attribute;
nm non-mandatory attribute;
d defaultable attribute.
Capital letters (M, NM and D) are used for groups of attributes.

Note 1 - Present for documents including a partial generic layout structure.
Note 2 - Present for documents including non-basic document characteristics.
6.6Interchange format
The interchange format class used in this document application profile is "A", as
defined in Recommendation T.415.
ANNEX A
(to Recommendation T.501)
Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 17
Format of the values of the attributes "object identifier",
"object class identifier", "object class" and "subordinates"
The object identifiers of the specific layout object descriptions are composed of
sequences of numbers, each of these numbers representing a particular level of the
specific layout structure.
18 Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501
The number assigned to the specific document layout root object description is "1".
The subordinate pages have a second number which uniquely identifies a particular page.
The delimiter between "1" and this second number is the "space" character.
Example:
"1 27" corresponding coding: w'31 20 32 37w'H
The subordinate block identifiers are composed of the identifier of the page to
which they belong extended with an additional number which uniquely identifies a
particular block. The delimiter between the prefix derived from the page identifier and
this additional number is the "space" character.
Example:
"1 27 5" corresponding coding: w'31 20 32 37 20 35w'H
The generic structure of a document for mixed mode of operation is composed of a set
of object class descriptions, some of them being structured.
The first number of the object class identifier is always "0". The other number may
be allocated as mentioned above for specific object identifiers for object class
descriptions which are internally structured.
Example: page class description composed of blocks, etc....
For independent object class descriptions, a second number is added to "0" with a
"space" character as a delimiter.
Examples:
a) page class description with two block class descriptions
page class description "0 5" coding: w'30 20 35w'H
first block class description "0 5 0" coding: w'30 20 35 20 30w'H
second block class description "0 5 1" coding: w'30 20 35 20 31w'H
b) independent block class description
block class description "0 25" coding: w'30 20 32 35w'H
For both generic and specific structures, content portion identifiers are composed
of the identifier of the object/object class to which the content portion belongs and an
additional number which uniquely identifies a particular content portion.
Examples:
block description "1 27 5" coding: w'312032372035w'H
content portion "1 27 5 6" coding: w'3120323720352036w'H
associated with the block
The value of the attribute "object class" is the complete identifier of the object
class description concerned.
The value of the attribute "generator for subordinates" is a sequence of complete
identifiers of subordinate object class descriptions.
The value of the attribute "subordinates" consists of a sequence of numbers, each of
which indicates a subordinate object at the next lower level of the hierarchy. Each of
these numbers is equal to the last number in the object identifier of the corresponding
subordinate object.
The value of the attribute "content portion" consists of a sequence of numbers, each
of which indicates a content portion of that object. Each of these numbers is equal to
Fascicle VII.7 - Rec. T.501 19
the last number in the content portion identifier.
