iv MicroTiff™ Reference Manual
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 PrintStation Manager for printing or to a disk location as a PSM job to be printed at a later date.
