TIF file format for faxes and OCR

The Create Fax Page List and Append Page tools, supports the following TIFF file formats:

• TIFF. This is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. Create Fax Page List supports the most common TIFF formats. CIC supports Group 3 and 4.

• MPT. This is a multipage TIFF format that enables a file to contain more than one image. It is handled the same as a regular TIFF file, except for the multipage feature.
  
  You can read the following bits per pixel: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32.

Note: CIC does not support LZW compressed TIF files.

The OCR for TIFF/PCX/DCX tool supports the following formats:

• CCITT Group 3, 1D Compressed

• CCITT Group 4, 2D Compressed

• Tiff Uncompressed

OCR supports multi-page Tiffs, but they must all have the same resolution. For multi-page Tiffs, the resolution of the first page is used for all following pages. Minimum supported resolution is 100 dpi (dots per inch), maximum is 1200 dpi. 200 dpi is the minimum recommended resolution for accurate OCR processing.
