Hi Dave,

For #1, I assume you are using ShowUI is False in TScanner. You should set the RequestedImageFormat before scanner, and not perform an image format transform. When scanning BW there should be no need to convert the format. Also, I prefer ShowUI = True, because often Twain drivers have other options which are not available is you set ShowUI = False.

#2, The RowsPerStrip is an internal parameter of tiff files. It does not make that much difference. You may save a few bytes by making it larger (try something between 100 and 1000).

#3. Yes as mentionned in my other reply use a TTiffGraphic and SaveToFile directly. Also, create the TTiffGraphic outside the call will avoid create/destroy every time.

Best regards,

Michel
