Title: Need Scanner Model Info
Post by: luvnrocs on September 30, 2014, 05:23:02 PM
I'm brand new to EXIF Tool and have been doing some experimenting to see if the TIFF files we produce in our scanning lab are in tune with the FADGI guidelines.

I created a bat file to run a folder full of TIFF files through and output the data to a CSV file. Here's the command I used:
exiftool -csv -u -a -r %1 >> %1\out.csv

In my results I get the tag for Scanner Make but I don't see Model. Any ideas as to why that is?

ScannerMake is a FlashPix tag (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/FlashPix.html).  All I can tell you is that a ScannerModel tag does exist, but I can't tell you why your software doesn't write it.
