TIFF2FAX(8C)

NAME
       tiff2fax  -  convert  TIFF  for  facsimile transmission by
       HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS
       /var/spool/fax/bin/tiff2fax [ options ] file

DESCRIPTION
       bin/tiff2fax takes TIFF input and generates a TIFF Class F
       image  file  suitable  for  facsimile transmission.  It is
       usually  invoked  by  the   HylaFAX   scheduler   process,
       faxq(8C).     The    default   implementation   uses   the
       tiffcheck(8C) program and tools from the freely  available
       TIFF  software  distribution  to  implement the conversion
       operations.

OPTIONS
       The following operations are recognized:

       -1        Write Group 3  1D-encoded  data  to  the  output
                 file.

       -2        Write  Group  3  2D-encoded  data  to the output
                 file.

       -m pages  Set the maximum number of pages that are permit-
                 ted  in the output file.  If more pages are pre-
                 sent in the input document then  abort  process-
                 ing.

       -o file   Write  output  to  the specified file instead of
                 the default foo.tif filename.

       -w width  Set  the  output  page  width,  in  pixels.   By
                 default, pages are 1728 pixels wide.

       -l length Set  the  output page length in millimeters.  By
                 default, pages are 297 millimeters long.

       -r vres   Set the vertical resolution, in  lines/inch,  at
                 which to image the POSTSCRIPT.

FILES
       /usr/local/sbin/tiffcheck    TIFF file conversion examiner
       /var/spool/fax/bin/ps2fax    POSTSCRIPT RIP for doing complicated conversions
       /usr/local/bin/tiffcp        for converting compression schemes
       /usr/local/bin/tiff2ps       for colorspace and/or image size conversions

BUGS
       Conversions  that  require  re-imaging  and  resizing  may
       result in images that are poorly placed on the page.

       There is no way to control how  images  are  treated  when
       they  are  resized;  e.g. the original aspect ratio is not

       always maintained.
