By default, each row of data in the resultant <small>TIFF</small> file is 1-dimensionally encoded and padded or truncated to 1728 pixels, as needed. The resultant image is a set of low resolution (98 lines/inch) or medium resolution (196 lines/inch) pages, each of which is a single strip of data. The generated file conforms to the <small>TIFF</small> Class F ( <small>FAX</small> ) specification for storing facsimile data. This means, in particular, that each page of the data does <b>not</b> include the trailing <i>return to control</i> ( <small>RTC</small> ) code; as required for transmission by the <small>CCITT</small> Group 3 specifications. The old, ‘‘classic’’, format is created if the <b>−c</b> option is used. (The Class F format can also be requested with the <b>−f</b> option.)</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>The default name of the output image is <i>fax.tif</i>; this can be changed with the <b>−o</b> option. Each input file is assumed to be a separate page of facsimile data from the same document.
