54.Sh FILES
55The device can process compressed data (Huffman pixel difference method)
56to reduce the USB payload.
57To generate the compressed data,
58the driver needs to load a Huffman table,
59which is stored in the following binary file:
60.Pp
61.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
62.It Pa /etc/firmware/udl_huffman
63.El
64.Pp
65If the Huffman table can't be loaded, the driver will fall back to
66uncompressed mode.
