TIFF Image Printer

Description

Sets the advanced TIFF options on the IPNSession object. These options include both monochrome-specific options sometimes needed by older fax printers and some general TIFF options that apply to all TIFF output.

To set a single TIFF advanced option use the SetProperty call with the appropriate arguments. See the Remarks below for a list of arguments.

Syntax

expression.SetTIFFAdvancedOptions(ReverseBits, EOLByteAlign, InvertPhotometric,

                                  IncludeDateTime, MotorolaFormat)

where expression is an IPNSession object.

Parameters

Boolean ReverseBits

Also known as fill order, pass True to store the image data in least significant bit to most significant bit (LSB to MSB) order, or False to store the bits in most significant bit to least significant bit (MSB to LSB) order.

Boolean EOLByteAlign

Pass True to align rows of CCITT Group 3 1D and 2D image data on word boundaries.

Boolean InvertPhotometric

The photometric interpretation option determines the order of the black and white palette entries for a monochrome TIFF file. Pass True to invert the palette entries (MINISBLACK, the palette entry for 0 is black) and create a TIFF with white text on a black background. Pass False (MINISWHITE, the palette entry for 0 is white) to create a TIFF with black text on a white background.

Boolean IncludeDateTime

Pass True to have the creation time and date added to your outputted TIFF file.

Boolean MotorolaFormat

Pass True to create TIFF images using Motorola (big-endian) byte order. The default format is Intel (little-endian) byte order.

Remarks

Use the following to set this option using SetProperty:
