    Yes.

    In your experience, do the fast hardware scanners ever leave anything
    "out-of-band" which a user might need in order to reconstruct the image
    but which isn't included in the stream, such as image dimensions or
    color type /depth info ?

    You said JFIF in your example, does that mean that the data coming out
    of the scanners is a true JFIF compliant file, or just that it would
    be easy in the frontend or backend to prepend the appropriate APPn
    markers and data?

    Nick.
