Define/Update Application Tag Values
Hexadecimal: 1D B4 nL nH t0 . . .tm
Parameters: n is the total byte count size of user TagData structures, each structure is similarly defined in the TIFF
specification: 2 byte tag value, followed by a 2 byte type value, followed by a 2 byte count of byte length (note: this
differs from TIFF directory entry), followed by the object. If the object is a string type, this would be the string itself;
max length of each string is 127.

t0…tm are the tag structures. If the byte length is 0 then that non-reserved (Application) tag is eliminated from being
set on future scanned images.
set on future scanned images.
n is limited to 256 maximum parameter data length size, so if the total tag structures to be set exceed that, then they
should be divided and sent as multiple commands; n = 0 is used to erase all application set Tags.

Return: None
Description: The application set image tag values are saved for use with any future documents scanned, which will
also be identified by an automatically generated numerical File Index tag. If any non-automatically generated tags are
application set, they will be copied into the TIFF header along with the automatically generated ones. All tags will be
returned in the TIFF structure whenever one or both bottom and top scanner images are transmitted. While only the
tags identified as “reserved” will be set by firmware, it is suggested that the application use tag numbers as specified in
the TIFF standard which provides for privately defined usage of tags above 32,768.

Tags noted as “application initialized” can be sent and will be updated by the firmware, for example date-time.
Using the following suggested pertinent “application” tag numbers insures there will be no misuse of TIFF predefined
numbers. Do not use any of the reserved, FW generated numbers – that data will be automatically overwritten at each
scan by the firmware. Values are in decimal corresponding to those in the TIFF specification:
