+<p><i>fax2ps</i> reads one or more <small>TIFF</small>
+facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of
+PostScript on the standard output that is suitable for
+printing.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image
+dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The
+<b>&minus;x</b> and <b>&minus;y</b> options can be used to
+specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions
+(lines/inch), respectively. If the <b>&minus;S</b> option is
+specified, each page is scaled to fill an output page. The
+default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page
+dimensions can be specified in inches with the
+<b>&minus;W</b> and <b>&minus;H</b> options.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>By default <i>fax2ps</i> generates PostScript for all
+pages in the file. The <b>&minus;p</b> option can be used to
+select one or more pages from a multi-page document.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p><i>fax2ps</i> generates a compressed form of PostScript
+that is optimized for sending pages of text to a PostScript
+printer attached to a host through a low-speed link (such as
+a serial line). Each output page is filled with white and
+then only the black areas are drawn. The PostScript
+specification of the black drawing operations is optimized
+by using a special font that encodes the move-draw
+operations required to fill the black regions on the page.
+This compression scheme typically results in a substantially
+reduced PostScript description, relative to the
+straightforward imaging of the page with a PostScript
+<i>image</i> operator. This algorithm can, however, be
+ineffective for continuous-tone and white-on-black images.
+For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send the
+raster bitmap image directly; see <b>tiff2ps</b>(1).</p>
