Thanks Teemu.
I will check your link, however I did search via Google and those I figured
out mentioned that the TIFF internal data arrangement can be customized and
depends on the source producer.
This is the reason I asked about particular scanner.

Alex,

have you tried searching the net for the TIFF file specification ? That
might be more fruitful than asking here. The following came up pretty
easily with a google.com search:
