What is MicroTiff?
The MicroPress MicroTiff is intended primar ily to convert TIFF files that
have been produced by scanning a document. MicroTiff makes it
possible to print a large number of TIFF files quickly by not going
through a PostScript RIP.
To work with MicroTiff, TI FF files should be Black & White, 1 bit per
pixel. Color TIFF files of any type are not cur r ently supported by
MicroTiff. If t he file is not the correct type, it may be impor t ed into most
page layout or photo re-touch packag es and saved as needed.
MicroTiff reads TIFF files, converts them to MicroPress format, and
sends them directly to a Virtual Engine in the Print St ation Manager for
printing. The TIFF files may also be printed to a disk location as a PSM
job to be printed at a later date.
