Image file Conversions (GIF, JPG, PNG)
An internal converter is now always used to convert GIF, JPG and PNG image files to PDF or TIF. The internal converter is also used to convert some non-faxable TIF files (for example color images or non-fax resolution values) to PDF or faxable TIF.
This method of conversion has the following advantages:
•The Document Converter print driver is not required.
•The 'speckle' round text characters, especially on JPG images, can be reduced using image options, and other customization of the conversion is also possible using these options.
•Output TIF files are often dramatically smaller and therefore can be transmitted more quickly.
Note that you should not use the SCIMG image options keyword for small image file such as logo images, which would otherwise be scaled up to full page size. Use SCIMG only when the image is a page-width file which will be scaled accordingly to fit a fax page format. With SCIMG, landscape mode images (wider than their height) are rotated anticlockwise.
