<P>Yes.

<P>In your experience, do the fast hardware scanners ever leave anything
<BR>
&quot;out-of-band&quot; which a user might need in order to reconstruct the image
<BR>
but which isn't included in the stream, such as image dimensions or
<BR>
color type /depth info ?
<BR>
<P>You said JFIF in your example, does that mean that the data coming out
<BR>
of the scanners is a true JFIF compliant file, or just that it would
<BR>
be easy in the frontend or backend to prepend the appropriate APPn
<BR>
markers and data?
