Fax Tiff engine failing

[jasonm]

Hello,

Sorry if this is offtopic.

I have all of the on and offramp faxing set up and for plain text it seems to work fine, but when I use a tiff attachment I get.

"docmsp_tiff_reader_data_process:(): The tiff engine failed for Call"

Which from my searches says that it may be a memory or corrupt attachment, I upgraded to 128MB in my 5300 and still getting the same error.

I have a AS5300, 128M dram, 16M flash, IOS c5300-is-mz.122-24.bin, I am using DSP/VFC, not modem card btw.

Is there a sample tiff file here for testing, or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks

Jason

Are you sure this is a TIFF - type F format? It is very picky in that regards.

[jasonm]

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I have tried a few variations also here is my setup...

outlooks express (tried about 10 different formats) -> Sendmail->AS5300 IOS 12.2(15)T14-> DSP ver 4.1.31 -> ISDN channel.

Do you know of a sample tiff running around that is the proper format? Like I said all text faxes work fine.

the below is the output I get on any fax with a tiff

21:41:08: docmsp_tiff_reader_data_process:(): The tiff engine failed for Call 61

to get a known working tiff file send a fax inbound. this will have a tiff attachment whose default name is cisco_fax.tif

you can then try sending this outboud.

if this fails check mime headers in offramp smtp message- does exchange (or whatever you are using) set mime headers to plain text and tiff image?

[jasonm]

Thanks, that worked.

Now the bigger problem, does anyone here know of print to tiff driver that is compatible? I have tried three with about every setting they have.

[vmalhi]

i'll send you direct to your email.

[jasonm]

Wow, thanks, I will try this. Do you work for the vendor who makes this?

[Markus Schneider]

No, just a vendor who uses it (cisco).

[Markus Schneider]

ImageMaker (http://www.imgmaker.com/) makes one that we use with Cisco Unity.
