Notes
A special feature of TIFF images is that the format allows more than one image to be stored in a single file, see above.
You may set up 'bit reversal', 'end of line' markers etc. to satisfy fax protocol. The orientation and rotation of the output images can be configured. An image may sent as a single strip of data, e.g. for PostScript printers. See TIFF export options.
You may export just part of the printed region by sweeping out an area of the page with the cursor and choosing Selected area from the Images page of the Configuration dialog. If you choose 'Selected area' and no area has been marked out (e.g. when converting in batch mode) then the area where data fields are marked is exported. See Image import/export options.
A title for the document may be defined on the command-line: see /TITLE.
