NOTES
The information that faxinfo prints is obtained from the tags stored in the TIFF image that is written by the software. If faxinfo is presented with an invalid TIFF image it may print uninteresting information. Similarly if a TIFF image that was not written by is supplied as an argument then only partial information may be printed-this is because stores certain information in private tags that other TIFF writers may not emit.
