Note
By default, all received faxes will be stored in user vsifax's inbox ($VSIFAX/faxq/vsifax) in TIFF file
format.
3. Open the received TIFF file and measure the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the logo or
signature, as well as the image area width and height.
4. Create a faxable signature or logo file using the vtifftool cut command.
For example, to create a faxable logo file (logo.tif) by cropping all unused white space from the previous
example, enter the following on a single line:
vtifftool cut -E fine -x 1.5i -y 1.0i -w 5.25i -h 2.0i -o logo.tif rawlogo.tif
The output file contains only the signature, so the content of the file is only 5.25" wide and 2" high. All unused
white space and additional file information has been removed.
Alternatively, you can use the vtifftool mksig command as follows:
vtifftool mksig -o logo.tif rawlogo.tif
5. To make this a public image file (available to all VSI-FAX users), upload it to the $VSIFAX/lib/images
directory using the vupload image command.
For example, to upload the logo file from the previous example, enter:
vupload image logo.tif
You are now ready to include your signature or logo file in a faxable document.
