The TIFF Image Printer provides automatic color counting and color reduction options to fine tune and optimize how these images are stored.

Paper Size

Standard Paper Size

TIFF Image Printer supports all standard paper sizes and any user-defined forms created through Server Properties in the Printers and Faxes window.

Image Processing – Copy To

Use the Copy To feature with its image scaling and alignment options to place the image onto a new page of a different size.

Control the hardware margins and paper size of the driver.

Image & Page Manipulations

Pre-set Output Location

Pre-set the file name and/or default output location, or eliminate prompts altogether to save time.

Page Processing

Perform the following page processing actions on the incoming printed page:

• Rotate portrait pages 90, 180, or 270 degrees counter-clockwise.
• Rotate landscape pages 90, 180, or 270 degrees counter-clockwise.
• Automatically trim page margins based on an intensity threshold.
• Crop the page margins, or crop an area inside the page.
• Darken or lighten the incoming page as needed.

Image Processing

Perform the following image processing actions on the outgoing image:

• Copy, scale and align the page to a new page of a different size.
• Resample the outgoing image using pixels, resolutions or as a percentage of the original size.

Customize Default Settings

Edit the configuration file (PNETIF7C.ini) to customize default settings and hide unnecessary options. Use the same configuration file throughout the office to ensure all users have the same setup.

Run Commands for Extended Processing Automation

Use Run commands to launch any external application at the start of a print job, at the end of a print job, after each file is created, and/or after each page. You can also use the run commands to signal Win32 event objects or call functions in your own DLLs. Use variables to retrieve runtime information about a print job and pass them as parameters to your functions.
