RIC File Extension Description

The file extension .ric is utilized as a graphic file associated with the Ricoh FAX standard. The .ric file extension is specifically identified with the functionalities of the DX-1 adapter, which is a fax card produced by the company to integrate faxing solutions to common computer systems.

Unlike the common fax machine device, the faxing capability of a computer system, involves mainly converting paper documents to digital formats, or making them graphic files. Every graphic file like the .ric file extension conforms to certain standards based on the common implementation. The file extension .ric is implemented strictly for faxing purposes, because of its comparatively lower bit rate as opposed to other picture files.

The specifications adhered to by .ric file extension types, were defined jointly by Intel and Digital Communications Associates, which in essence is classified as a higher level of programming interface utilized solely to maintain standards of data communications, to be imposed on programs.

The structure followed by the file extension .ric is very basic and uncluttered, identifying methodologies for addition of data communication capabilities to different vendor products. The defined interface does not describe a particular software or hardware device, but rather; focuses on the facilities required to achieve communications interfacing.

In essence, the file extension .ric requires the support of a fax capable hardware and software, which has the functionality of communicating and instructing the particular hardware to complete the task. The operating system provides the framework and communication linkages to allow the process to take effect internally, making sure that no conflict or bottlenecks occur along the communication lines.

The file extension .ric normally works in conjunction with CAS, which resides in the 2FH interrupt. Functions can similarly access the 21H interrupt via values defined in the system register by examining the issued values. 0CBH represents the Intel CAS that exists on multiple interrupts, related to the .ric file extension implementation.

Interpretations of transmissions using fax capabilities automatically converts (even ASCII) to graphics, which are then compressed and sent along standard telephone lines, and later on decompressed upon reaching the receiver.
