Re: [hylafax-users] Receiving empty white pages



Lee
You are very helpful, I'm very impressed by your knowledge.
Thank you.

I guess with Gentoo I would not want to patch the libtiff outside of portage. I'll report this problem to Gentoo and will ask them to include this patch in the next release of libtiff.

Again, thank you for your help, Lee

Regard

Anton

Being, hmm.. , a perfectionist , I wonder - is there any way to set up Hylafax to convert from JBIG to normal TIFF format ( no compression ).


Internally HylaFAX does not convert image data that it receives with ECM. In other words, RecvDataFormat (which is the feature you're discussing) is not applied to ECM-received faxes. Now, maybe it should be, but it isn't.

The easiest thing to do, in order to retain JBIG fax features, would be to patch your libtiff for JBIG support. See:

Little be more info on a problem , while receiving JBIG compressed images on email from Hylafax I had this strange message


Does not look like a facsimile?


This happens because your libtiff version isn't storing the FaxDCS TIFF tag. This was a feature that was added to libtiff in 3.7.2, I think.

Lee.
