Selecting A File Format - Canon MF247dw User Manual

Selecting a File Format

<Scan>
<PDF>
Converts a scanned document into a PDF file with no file size reduction.
<PDF (Compact)>
Converts a scanned document into a PDF file with a reduced file size than that of <PDF>.
<JPEG>
The scanned document is converted into a JPEG file.
<TIFF>
The scanned document is converted into a TIFF file.
● If you select JPEG in <File Format> and try to scan a document from the platen glass, you can only scan one
page. To scan a multiple-page document all at once, use the feeder. Each page of the document is saved as a
separate file. If you select TIFF or PDF, you can scan multiple-page documents either from the platen glass or
from the feeder and the whole of the scanned document is saved as one file.
● <PDF (Compact)> compresses photos and illustrations on documents more than <PDF>. The file will be
smaller, but the image quality of some documents or the number of documents that can be scanned at once
may be lower.
● For the resolutions of each file format, see
MF247dw)(P. 658) .
