FILE FORMAT CONVERTER (MLB)

6.21 FILE FORMAT CONVERTER (MLB)
In previous models (such as A-C2, R-C2), DeskTopBinder V2 could retrieve copy
and print jobs from the document server and convert them to TIFF. However, this
software-based conversion was slow for many users.
So, for this machine, this conversion has been made hardware-based, using the
optional File Format Converter. Without the File Format Converter, copy and print
jobs cannot be downloaded to a PC (or e-Cabinet) from the document server.
Two common target formats are provided for conversion to files that can be
selected by the SP modes: JPEG, and TIFF.
In scanner mode, users can select file format from TIFF, JPEG, or PDF. The time
to create TIFF and JPEG files will be shortened with the File Format Converter,
especially for high scanning resolution and large image size. When the customer
selects PDF, the machine creates a TIFF or JPEG file from the scanned image first
then converts it to PDF. So, the total time to create a PDF is also shortened with
the File Format Converter.
