NOTE: Certain file formats are special fax file formats, for example, TIFF for NMS boards or TIFF for Gammalink. When these special fax formats are selected, the Black Ice printer driver automatically selects the Create Faxable Image option on the Device Settings tab, and also selects 204 x 196 DPI fax resolution. Once a non-fax file format is selected after selecting a fax format, the Create faxable image option on the Device Settings tab must be unchecked.

TIFF Settings are only available for TIFF files.

  • Internet TIFF format - If TIFF file format is selected as the output image format and this box is checked, the driver will create a TIFF file that is compatible with the requirements listed in chapter 3 of RFC 2301 (File Format for Internet Fax ). (Not a chapter in this manual.) That chapter lists the required tags for black-and-white faxes. The extra tag the driver will include in the tiff file if this flag is checked is NEWSUBFILETYPE.
  • The Reverse bit order in TIFF - If this box is checked, the driver will save TIFF images with reverse bit order and also set the value of the FILLORDER tag in the image file to Reverse.GammaLink compatible TIFF output requires this setting to be checked, because they can only send TIFF images with reverse bit order.
  • Add Page Numbering Tag - If this box is checked, the driver will set the page number tag of every page in the output TIFF file.
