This chapter describes how WFPC2 data are configured and delivered and how these data products relate to the original specifications in the Phase II proposal. We describe the data format used by STScI to distribute WFPC2 observations and the meanings of the header keywords that the user is likely to find most important. Finally, we describe the paper products made available to the Principal Investigator (PI) with the initial data delivery into the Archive and how users can reproduce them.
