What do you mean by 'text data of the image'?

As far as i know it's all (besides some meta info) pixels in a tiff, if you need your text to be transparent, your tiff should contain an alpha channel marking the text transparant, or you need to provide a clipping path.

The tiff format supports alpha channels (even embedding clipping paths, if I'm not mistaken, not sure how these are being handled in xps - need to read the spec on this).
Regarding how to set this: I think this is up to the source of the tiffs, because that device/software should embed this information in the tiff.
