Its also called Tiff Fax G4 or Tiff G4 2 D.


Digital Storage for 1 x Filing cabinet
1 file cabinet (4 drawer) (10,000 pages on average) = 500 MegaBytes (MByte)= 1 CD ROM


Trees required for paper
1 pulp tree (loblolly pine) = 1/10th cord of wood = 10,000 pages = 1 File Cabinet = 4 boxes = 1/2 GByte

1 lumber tree (20 inch diameter, 110 ft tall, 50 years old) = 1 cord

10 pulp tree (8 in.  dia., 50 ft tall, 20 yrs old) = 1 cord = 4 x 4 x 8 ft = 128 cubic ft (75 cubic feet of wood)

Storage for an archive box
1 box (in inches: 12 wide x 15 long x 9.5 d) (2,500 pages) = 1 file drawer = 2 linear feet of files = 125 MBytes

The cost of a filing cabinet Figure fifteen square feet for
a file cabinet (you need enough room to open the drawers and walk past it). At $15 per square foot of space per year, that’s $2250 for the space, far more than the cabinet itself costs.

Storage cost of a CD
Cost of a unit of media - CD $1.00 / number of images that will fit on it / 16,000 images (50 KB per image)
= cost per image for media = $0.0000625 per image
