The TIFF Image Printer is a virtual Windows printer that you will find in the Printer and Faxes folder. This is the same location you would find your laser or inkjet printer.

To create a TIFF file, all you need to do is print to TIFF Image Printer just as you would print to your laser or inkjet printer. It just that easy!

The TIFF Image Printer can convert any printable file from any program to TIFF.

Once converted into TIFF image files, you can share, archive them or (automatically) attach them to an email message as a virus-free attachment.

In comparison to competing conversion tools that offer a multitude of file formats, the TIFF Image Printer specializes in producing the exact TIFF file format you require through it’s extensive customizable TIFF specific properties that are not available in competing products.

In addition, the ability to launch external programs or dynamically load and call DLL entry points makes this virtual printer an ideal solution for application developers that are looking to automate the process of converting documents to TIFF image files.

What can I do with TIFF Image Printer?

Complete control over the file size and image quality of the TIFF files created.
The TIFF Image Printer is configured to produce good quality pictures upon install, but there are times when you need to control the size of the file or the quality of the image produced. Increase the printer’s resolution (to a maximum of 1200 DPI) to increase the quality of the image, or lower the resolution (to a minimum of 50 DPI) to create a smaller sized image.

Save space with automatic color options – the fewer the colors, the smaller the file.
The TIFF Image Printer takes the guesswork out of selecting the color mode the image is stored in when performing convert to TIFF. Without affecting the image quality, the TIFF printer can automatically reduce your document image to the fewest number of colors possible. This option is easily changed if you always need true color, greyscale or monochrome images.

Customize the TIFF format options to get the exact TIFF you need, every time.
For certain types of applications, such as archival, fax, or proprietary systems, the type of TIFF file that needs to be used is restricted in format and compression type, and will be rejected if it does not match. The TIFF Image Printer provides the ability for you to specify the TIFF format and compression that must be generated in order to guarantee these files will be accepted by these systems every time!

Produce fax-ready TIFF images suitable for use with your favourite fax software.
Fax software programs often have specific guidelines regarding the image formats they can fax. With the TIFF Image Printer many fax options for both Profile S and Profile F fax formats, as well as its large selection of fax resolutions, you can be guaranteed to get the TIFF file format you need.

Advanced file naming convention.
If your files need to follow a specific naming convention or be stored in a certain location, the TIFF Image Printer's advanced file naming ability can be easily configured to meet your needs – be it for an archival, fax or other proprietary system.

Ultimate control and tight integration with YOUR workflow process.
To streamline or automate any process, the TIFF Image Printer provides several points in its file creation process that allow you to attach your own processing logic to allow you to run or invoke actions before or after the creation of your TIFF file. Take advantage of what others have done to save money every day.

With this release, the TIFF Image Printer 7.0 processing model is now identical to the PEERNET.DRV eTIFF 6.0 printing model. The default installation is back to spool document and start printing immediately.

Update TIFF Image Printer 7.0.008 to 7.0.010 - September, 2006

In order, to control the number of jobs being converted at a time in TIFF Image Printer 7.0, there is now a Set Max Jobs command. It sets a registry key value that controls the number of jobs that can be executed in parallel, there by preventing too many jobs from running at the same time.

This release fixes the Simple MAPI and Extended MAPI support. In previous builds, the Simple MAPI and Extended MAPI e-mail support was not correctly passing the UNICODE string through the API, which resulted in e-mail address not being resolved to one recipient.

This release fixes the e-mail support in 7.0.008 and 7.0.009 builds that prevented the e-mail modules from loading when not Office 2007.

Added 7.0.008 added support for Office 2007. There was an issue configuring e-mail when using Office Excel 2007 beta. We have added a workaround for this issue.

Update TIFF Image Printer 7.0.006 &7.0.007 - June, 2006

In this update, processing of printing and converting pages to TIFF is controlled on the printer's properties Advanced tab.  All print spooling options are supported.

• When you selected "Print directly to the printer", the conversion process is completely synchronous. So when you print, the printing and conversion process will not return until the job is completely finished.
• When you select "Start printing when last page is spooled", the conversion process will not start until all pages have been spooled.
• When you select "Start printing immediately", the conversion process start immediately. This is the default.
• Install has been reduced significantly.

This release also fixes issue where user define variables Var0 through Var9 in script file were not being passed to the conversion process.

Update TIFF Image Printer 7.0.004 - May, 2006

This is a cumulative patch release to fix the following issues:

Canceling print job failed to cancel the job. Print job is now cancelled as expected.

When "Spool print documents so program finishes faster" is selected on the Advanced tab of the printer's properties dialog, the conversion to TIFF process is done asynchronously. This processing is the same processing model used by PEERNET.DRV eTIFF 6.0.

When "Print directly to printer" is selected on the Advanced tab of the printer's properties dialog, the spooling and conversion to TIFF are processed synchronously. This mode makes it easier to automate the conversion process and know when the TIFF file(s) are finished being created. PEERNET.DRV eTIFF 6.0 does not offer this mode of processing.

Fixed random problem with AutoCAD shaded fills that would randomly be drawn incorrectly.

Released TIFF Image Printer - March, 2006

Added support for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows 2003 x64 Edition that supports both AMD64 and Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). This product does not support Itanium-based Systems.

Added support for specifying LZW and Packbits compression for black and white TIFF images. LZW black and white compressed TIFF images are useful for creating black and white images that can be opened by Adobe ® Photoshop.

Added new variables to provide information users entered on the Print Dialog to clients that send their TIFFs to be printed on a printer capable of printing TIFF images directly.

$(Copies) - Number of copies
$(Collate) - 0 for FALSE, 1 for TRUE
$(Duplex) - 1 for Simple (Not Duplex), 2 for Vertical Duplex, 3 for Horizontal Duplex

All processing of strings and file names are now fully UNICODE compliant throughout the architecture. This resolves several issues on Chinese and Japanese Windows as well as other version of Windows using UNICODE languages.

The print process has been architected to support printing without the possibility of the print queue locking up or users blocking each other when printing at the same time from within a terminal server client session.

All printing is now processed synchronously simplifying the automation process for application developers.

Added a Copy Printer program that supports creating copies of the TIFF Image Printer 7.0 and makes it a breeze to create copies of the printer with different default settings.

A new name, TIFF Image Printer was chosen to replace PEERNET.DRV eTIFF in order to better reflect the main purpose of the application and to highlight the fact this driver does not support older versions of the Microsoft Windows operating systems.
