Welcome to the forum.
Why don't you post the method / script / code that you use to remove the junk characters? It might be better to avoid the errors in the first place than to run a second code to deal with them.

fax2ps
FAX2PS(1) General Commands Manual FAX2PS(1)
NAME
fax2ps - convert a TIFF facsimile to compressed PostScripttm
SYNOPSIS
fax2ps [ options ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
fax2ps reads one or more TIFF facsimile image files and prints a compressed form of PostScript on the standard output that is suitable for
printing.
By default, each page is scaled to reflect the image dimensions and resolutions stored in the file. The -x and -y options can be used to
specify the horizontal and vertical image resolutions (lines/inch), respectively. If the -S option is specified, each page is scaled to
fill an output page. The default output page is 8.5 by 11 inches. Alternate page dimensions can be specified in inches with the -W and -H
options.
By default fax2ps generates PostScript for all pages in the file. The -p option can be used to select one or more pages from a multi-page
document.
fax2ps generates a compressed form of PostScript that is optimized for sending pages of text to a PostScript printer attached to a host
through a low-speed link (such as a serial line). Each output page is filled with white and then only the black areas are drawn. The
PostScript specification of the black drawing operations is optimized by using a special font that encodes the move-draw operations
required to fill the black regions on the page. This compression scheme typically results in a substantially reduced PostScript descrip-
tion, relative to the straightforward imaging of the page with a PostScript image operator. This algorithm can, however, be ineffective
for continuous-tone and white-on-black images. For these images, it sometimes is more efficient to send the raster bitmap image directly;
see tiff2ps(1).
OPTIONS
-p number Print only the indicated page. Multiple pages may be printed by specifying this option more than once.
-x resolution
Use resolution as the horizontal resolution, in dots/inch, of the image data. By default this value is taken from the file.
-y resolution
Use resolution as the vertical resolution, in lines/inch, of the image data. By default this value is taken from the file.
-S Scale each page of image data to fill the output page dimensions. By default images are presented according to the dimension
information recorded in the TIFF file.
-W width Use width as the width, in inches, of the output page.
-H height Use height as the height, in inches, of the output page.
DIAGNOSTICS
Some messages about malformed TIFF images come from the TIFF library.
Various messages about badly formatted facsimile images may be generated due to transmission errors in received facsimile. fax2ps attempts
to recover from such data errors by resynchronizing decoding at the end of the current scanline. This can result in long horizontal black
lines in the resultant PostScript image.
NOTES
If the destination printer supports PostScript Level II then it is always faster to just send the encoded bitmap generated by the
tiff2ps(1) program.
BUGS
fax2ps should probably figure out when it is doing a poor job of compressing the output and just generate PostScript to image the bitmap
raster instead.
