I regret to say I barely know what a TIFF is. What's wrong with gifs?
What does scanning mean anyway? Like Google Images?

TIFF = Lossless compressed image. Works especially well for
one-bit (black and white) images, even better because there's
a multi-page option, and standard TIFF viewers abound.

Scanning is simply a way to archive documents. (There's other
reasons to scan stuff, too.)
