Processing
If a data file with metadata is used, the data file is merged with the selected PlanetPress Design
document, converted into a multi-page TIFF file with CCITT Group 4 compression, and sent to
the PReS Fax host specified in the properties. If the file is a TIFF file in the proper format and
the "Pass-through" option is selected, no processing is done, the file is sent as-is.
Output
A TIFF in the CCITT Group 4 compression, and information for the FAX server to know where
to send the file.
