This tool inspects documented fields of ANSI/NIST-ITL Type 9 only, and displays images found in ANSI/NIST-ITL Types 3–6, 13–15. There may be metadata stored in Type 2 or images stored in Type 7, both "user-defined" types. While these types may be documented and publicly available, they are not parsed by this tool.
