Selecting Document and Page Format Options
The format option you select determines the file format of the
scanned document. Appropriate format options and file types are
available for the type of Destination Application selected for the
button.
The available options are for images and text.
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats
indicate their file types. See “Text Formats” on page 48 for details.
Image Formats
Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents
that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard
image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image
processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of
those file formats tend to be larger than the JPG format.
Because JPG image files can be reduced in size, the JPG format is
often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a
problem when electronically sending the files. JPG files are
reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select
the degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPG file
format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You
may want to select PDF as the format when scanning text pages
that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF
format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as
pdf-readable files. As with the JPG option, the PDF format can be
reduced in size or quality.
Image Formats Text Formats; TEXT is only one of
several text formats available.
