Introduction
To define the internal organisation of the scanned files, choose between TIFF
(Tagged Image File Format), CALS-I (Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle
support), and Adobe
®
PDF (Portable Document Format).
TIFF
Describes image data that typically comes from scanners, frame grabbers, and paint-
and photo-retouching programmes. The purpose of TIFF is to describe and store
raster image data. A primary goal of TIFF is to provide a rich environment within
which applications can exchange image data. This richness is required to take
advantage of the varying capabilities of scanners and other imaging devices. For
example TIFF supports lossless image compression. Though TIFF is a rich format,
it can easily be used for simple scanners and applications as well because the
number of required fields is small.
