TIF Saving Issue and B/W Scanning as Negatives

Currently, we have an issue with the TIF files that are being generated from your software. When we scan in Grayscale, 200dpi and we are saving as multi-page TIFs with separator pages. The images save properly and separate without an issue. However, the compression style used on these saved images is then in "LZW Compression" format. This format is apparently copyrighted and is not allowing us to open them within our software.
When we try to use a different setting which we would actually rather use (Black and White) at 200dpi we have an issue with the scans showing up as negatives (all black and some white). When we save these files as TIF images they are saved as "CCITT T.6 format" which works when we import into our software system. Of course, they show up as negatives which will not be sufficient for business use.
We use this software for a few portions of our business but they are critical to scan and get into our software for our clients. We have tried multiple PCs, multiple scanners (same model) and cannot figure out a solution. If you can please take a look into why these images are saving in a strange compression form(LZW) or why the Black/White scan setting creates negative images I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ben
