HP d640 HP D640 High-Volume Printer - Technical Reference Manual, C5630-90030 - Page 27

General Rules The following are some general rules to describe how the D640 printer processes TIFF data. l Each TIFF file is a self-contained unit, made up of one or more sub-files. Each sub-file describes a single rectangular image. The image may be a complete page, or it may be a part of a page. During TIFF emulation, the printer cannot switch into any other protocol, except at the boundaries of individual TIFF files. l If a TIFF image contains multiple sub-files, the images contained in the sub-files are placed on separate pages in the order the sub-files appear in the TIFF data stream. l If TIFF is the selected protocol: • Images are placed with respect to the physical page, with zero margins. • If a sub-file doesn't have positioning information, the image is placed at the edge of the page. • If a sub-file has positioning information, the commands are interpreted as absolute displacements from the edge of the physical page. • The Clip setting for the document determines if the image is printed to the edge of the page. This can be a common situation. TIFF documents are often created to take up the entire page. To prevent clipping of the image when you print, make sure Clip = Off is set in the Configuration menu. For best results, try Clip = On This can be a common situation. TIFF documents are often created to take up the entire page.
