Faxaway offers .tif conversion software available for download (Win95 or Win3.1). This software will allow documents created in any Windows application to be converted to a .tif format type 3 1-D, which Faxaway fully supports.

When a .tif file is attached to an email, Faxaway processes the email as any other attached file. It is not necessary to put FAXDOC in the subject line when sending .tif files. Faxaway will send only one .tif file per message, even if more than one are attached. Merge fields are not available in .tif files.

We suggest that before using the converter, you review the "Read Me" file that downloads with the software.

The .TIF file is useful if you need to send messages in an unsupported character set or if you want to send graphics, Excel, or database files.

• The .TIF converter is loaded into your computer as a 'PRINTER CHOICE'.
• The printer choice is named 'BLICE'.
• Set the properties settings as follows in the output directory: TIFF Group 3, 1 Dimension
• Paper size Fax Paper 8.64 x 11
• Under Properties > Advanced the last field shows WHERE your saved file will be stored once you have renamed it. This is called the Output Directory. It is best if you do not reset this.
• Any modifications you make under the 'Options Print' tab will affect your faxes transmission. You may have to experiment in order to make each specific fax work.
• When "printing" to the .TIF converter (BLICE), a "save as" dialog box opens with a default path and numeric file name. You can change the name of your file, however NOTE that this file will be saved under the path listed in your Output Directory (located under Properties > Advanced, last field) If you try to save the renamed file anywhere ELSE using this dialog box, the numeric file name will be used for the save. This is a 'quirk' of this particular .Tif converter, and cannot be modified.
• Go to your default Output directory (usually C:\Faxcvt) and attach the file to your email message.
