❖ TIFF/CALS
Print TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format bitmap files from UNIX work-
stations and DOS/V computers.
TIFF/CALS files are rastorized by the machine. "Rastorization" refers to the
process of printing dot by dot from the bitmap image. This process does not
require a printer driver so printing can be set from either the machine or the
Web browser.
Note
❒ You can print GL/2 and TIFF/CALS files using PostScript 3.
❒ For details about specification of printable files, see "Printable TIFF Files",
