see +.BR tiff2ps (1). +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 10 +.BI \-p " number" +Print only the indicated page. +Multiple pages may be printed by specifying +this option more than once. +.TP 10 +.BI \-x " resolution" +Use +.I resolution +as the horizontal resolution, in dots/inch, of the image data. +By default this value is taken from the file. +.TP 10 +.BI \-y " resolution" +Use +.I resolution +as the vertical resolution, in lines/inch, of the image data. +By default this value is taken from the file. +.TP 10 +.B \-S +Scale each page of image data to fill the output page dimensions. +By default images are presented according to the dimension +information recorded in the +.SM TIFF +file. +.TP 10 +.BI \-W " width" +Use +.I width +as the width, in inches, of the output page. +.TP 10 +.BI \-H " height" +Use +.I height +as the height, in inches, of the output page. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +Some messages about malformed +.SM TIFF +images come from the +.SM TIFF +library. +.PP +Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images +may be generated due to transmission errors in received +facsimile. +.I fax2ps +attempts to recover from such data errors by resynchronizing +decoding at the end of the current scanline. +This can result in long horizontal black lines in the resultant +\*(Ps image. +.SH NOTES +If the destination printer supports \*(Ps Level II then +it is always faster to just send the encoded bitmap generated +by the +.BR tiff2ps (1) +program. +.SH BUGS +.I fax2ps +should probably figure out when it is doing a poor +job of compressing the output and just generate +\*(Ps to image the bitmap raster instead. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR tiff2ps (1), +.BR libtiff (3) +.PP +Libtiff library home page: +.BR http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ -- cgit v1.2.3
