Description
The faxutil command merges two files to create a TIFF file that can be faxed. You can merge two TIFF files, or merge one text file and one TIFF file. The TIFF files must be in the TIFF Class F (ITIF) format.
The -w option specifies the number of characters per line for text converted to ITIF. The value -w120 forces the text to be converted at high resolution. When the -w option is not used, the system assumes that fax_file is in ITIF format.
When merging corresponding pages in input files, the length of a page is the longest of the two input file pages. When merging multipage input files, the output file is the length of the longer input file. The scanline merge is an inclusive-or of the black and white pixels, with black taking precedence over white.
Example
The following example converts a text file (file1) to ITIF format with high resolution (120) and outputs the results to the file newfile.
faxutil -w120 newfile file1
