Color management and the scanner

The files obtained from your scanner (TIFF, JPEG, PDF) contain an embedded ICC profile corresponding to the type of paper selected prior to making the scan. When you load these files into any image reader software application, the information of the ICC profile is automatically used for optimum color appearance on your monitor. When you print a scanned image, or copy an original, the embedded ICC profile is also automatically used by the printer for optimum printing results.
