When used as a printer protocol, HP recommends the following ordering restrictions apply to allow sequential processing of the data. These include: • Offset values should be greater than the - HP d640 | HP D640 High-Volume Printer - Enhanced Features Manual, C5620-90027 - Page 37
, the image file directories appear after the image data. This file may not be printable because of the backward pointer.

TIFF specifications (described in TIFF Revision 6.0) require TIFF fields to appear in ascending tag order. The D640 printer does not enforce this requirement. You can use the error report setting on the D640 printer to print a report of TIFF errors within a print job.
