TIFF Files

Dialogic supports the TIFF format (class F). Class F tiff files is a limited version of the TIFF
design for use with fax transport. TIFF files are simple monochrome images. Note: Dialogic will
not support TIFF files that anything other than class F. For more information on the TIFF/F
format see the link http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2306.html.

Customizing Fax Logos

The goal is to create a TIFF/F image with dimensions of approximately 1150x110 pixels. Image
applications such as MS-Paint & Informatik TiffKit may have to be used to create the final
required TIFF/F image.
If the customer has supplied a TIFF/F with the above dimensions of 1150x110 pixels, skip
●
to next section.
If the customer supplies a monochrome bitmap adjust the dimensions (Image / attributes
●
in MS-Paint) to 1150x110. If the original image is smaller than these dimensions, white will
be appended on to height and/or width of image. Skip to next section.
If the image is larger, it may have to be recreated to fit into these dimensions although the
●
width is the important factor. Heights of 220 pixel is expectable but may not be in
proportion to the remainder of the fax in which case it will have to be recreated.
If the customer supplies a normal (colour) TIFF file, the image will have to be converted to
●
a monochrome bitmap before becoming a TIFF/F file. The MS imaging application may be
used to open and scale the image to required size. In which case the image may be pasted
into MS paint using ALT-Print screen (MS imaging active) and Ctrl-V (MS-Paint active).
More than not, the required TIFF logo will have to be created from scratch using MS-Paint.
●
The images will usually have relatively simple text & shapes.
Bare in mind that after conversion the TIFF/F images will look slightly different to the
●
original bitmap images and, in some case, it is trial & error until the desired image is
created.

Converting to a TIFF Image

At this stage there should be a monochrome bitmap image of width 1150 (approx) that has to be
converted to the tiff/f format. A conversion tool needs to be used to create the TIFF file. The
Tiffkit package from Informatik supplies a conversion application (reformat) to do this. There
may be other applications that do similar but this was recommended by Dialogic.
