<i>tiffcp</i> combines one or more files created according
to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0 into a single
<small>TIFF</small> file. Because the output file may be
compressed using a different algorithm than the input files,
<i>tiffcp</i> is most often used to convert between
different compression schemes.</td></table>

Group 3 compression can be specified together with several
T.4-specific options: <b>1d</b> for 1-dimensional encoding,
<b>2d</b> for 2-dimensional encoding, and <b>fill</b> to
force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled so that the
terminating EOL code lies on a byte boundary. Group
3-specific options are specified by appending a
``:''-separated list to the ``g3'' option; e.g. <b>-c
g3:2d:fill</b> to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL
codes.</td></table>

<small>LZW</small> compression can be specified together
with a <i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes
each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal
differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated list to
the ``lzw'' option; e.g. <b>-c lzw:2</b> for
<small>LZW</small> compression with horizontal
differencing.</td></table>
