KahHeng,
I also use Lasergraphics. Lasergraphics should have a film type for TMax 100.
If your machine doesn't have it, you could contact them or probably download
it from their Web site.
If for some reason, you can't get it, just know that the b/w exposure
basically just use the green channel, so you can use a slide film type, for
example, and turn down the red and blue exposure (some version doesn't allow
you to turn it to 0%, but it doesn't matter to have some red and blue
exposure).

Nothing in particular, but the curve is somehow "linearized," but the curve
of b/w paper is not truly linearize, so you might have to adjust the curve a
little yourself.
