bug? DeviceInfo ColorDepth ignored for TIFF image

Hello!
I have a problem generating report (format = IMAGE) using following
DeviceInfo settings:
<DeviceInfo>
<ColorDepth>1</ColorDepth>
<OutputFormat>TIFF</OutputFormat>
</DeviceInfo>
Using this settings, generated report (TIFF) always has 24 bit color
depth which is default value, and I wanted to generate black & white
report (1 bit)
Documentation states that ColorDepth could be changed only for TIFF,
but it is not true, it always applies the default value and ignores
user settings ?!
Is this a bug in reporting server?
Any ideas on how to generate TIFF 1-bit with Reporting Server are
welcome...
Thanks,
JohnYour observation is correct and yes, this is a known bug. I have passed your
comments along to the appropriate parties.
