Description
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows programs, including word
processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
A compressed file format in which the Compression Level can be selected. The JPEG
format lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the compression,
the lower the image quality. Any lost image quality data cannot be restored, and the
quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The TIFF format is recommended
when modification and retouching are required.
A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file. You can also edit the
scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for details. To open
Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems
(platform independent). To use PDF documents in Windows, you need Adobe
Reader or Acrobat. Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file. When you
save color or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a Compression Level.
A standard image file format for Macintosh. Most Macintosh programs, including
word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching II data for enhanced quality and a
wider color range. Print Image Matching II compatible printers can then print this
data for brilliant, true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Matching data does not affect the
way the image displays on the screen.) Available in JPEG or TIFF format.
A file format created for exchanging data between many programs, such as graphic
and DTP software. When scanning black & white images, you can specify the
Compression type.
