What is MicroTiff?

The MicroPress MicroTiff is intended primarily to convert TIFF files (Black & White, 1 bit per
pixel) that have been produced by scanning a document. 8 bit per Pixel files are supported
for the PrintLink Cii.

MicroTiff reads TIFF files, converts them to MicroPress format, and sends them directly to a
Virtual Engine in the PrintStati on Manager for printing or to a disk locat ion as a PSM job to be
printed at a later date.
