System Guide 3- 9Printing and queue managementTIFF orientationThe Print Server Save Feature stores TIFF images in differentorientations on the DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 and the DocuTech61XX. This is done by design to optimize productivity and allow forthe different finishing requirements of the print engines controlledby the Print Server software. The following products have theseoptions:DocuTech 61xx -- The DocuTech 61xx finishes the trail edge of thepages and orients the image appropriately.DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90 -- The DocuTech/DocuPrint 75/90finishes the lead edge of the pages and orients the imageproperly.This difference can result in PostScript/VIPP files that callDecomposition Service TIFFs being incompatible across thedifferent platforms. The imported TIFFs may print with a differentorientation relative to the PostScript image.Prior to Print Server 3.1, the controller utilized a conversion tool(TIFF to PostScript) to process and print TIFF files. A native TIFFdecomposer has now been implemented to directly process TIFFfiles for printing. This improves the TIFF printing performance forcertain types of files. Decomposer level adjustments are also nowavailable for the TIFF decomposer at the Queue level.NOTE: Multipage TIFF files are supported. Single TIFF files cancontain multiple TIFF images to be processed and printed.Supported TIFF tagsBelow is a list of the TIFF tags supported by the Print Serversoftware.Compression– Default = 1– The Print Server supports values of 1 (uncompressed), 2(CCITT Modified Huffman RLE, 32773 (PackBits), 3 (CCITTGroup 3), and 4 (CCITT Group 4).T4 Option– Default = 0– This is used to determine CCITT Group 3 one or twodimensional coding.Fill Order– Default = 1– The Print Server supports values of 1 and 2.Image Width and Image Length– Default = none; values must be supplied.Orientation– Default = 1
