5

problems
reported
reading
multi­
page
TIFFs
We've
received
several
reports
of
users
who
were
previously
able
to
read
the
label
images
from
within
IE
but
now
receive
an
error
message
or
the
Open
button
is
grayed
out.
Microsoft
has
documented
these
problems
as
"

and

Netscape
6
&
7
issues
recently
reported.
We've
had
reports
of
a
"
document
format
is
invalid"
error
message
when
a
selected
label
image
is
attempting
to
load.
The
problem
doesn't
occur
within
a
second
browser
window
performing
the
same
label
retrieval.
We
have
no
idea
why
the
initial
browser
window
and
second
browser
window
don't
function
the
same.

NOTE:
If
you
have
difficulty
attempting
to
view
a
label
from
within
a
browser,
you
should
choose
to
save
the
label
to
your
hard
drive
using
a
.
tif
extension.
You
may
then
view
the
label
at
a
later
time
using
a
multi­
page
capable
TIFF
application.
