You need to be able to open and print your original document in order to create a TIFF image. For example, to create a TIFF image from a PDF file, you would need to have Adobe Reader or another PDF viewer that has printing capabilities, installed on your computer.

TIFF Image Printer 12 uses Profiles, which are a group of settings, to create the output image you want. TIFF Image Printer comes with a few system profiles including: Color Optimized TIFF, Monochrome TIFF, Fax TIFF, and Serialized Color Optimized TIFF. To create faxable TIFF images, simply set the profile “Fax TIFF” as TIFF Image Printer’s default profile.
