What is Fill and Key data?

Fill data is a base image on which transparency information is overlaid, and Key data
is an image that will be used as transparency information. Key data acts as a mask on
Fill data.

A still image containing transparency information has a data area for transparency
information called the alpha channel in addition to the data area for color information
that is represented with RGB color. Your T2 will output color information as Fill data
and the alpha channel as Key data.
