There should be a discription about the Tif file...

U can also use the Wang Imaging Control Which comes along with windows. If its not isnstalled on ur system install it it using the add/remove programs--> windows setup --> accessories via control panel. It handles tif files.

I have done a small project for scanning using this control and ewvrything went on well without any problem.
