Image Formats
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types. See "Text
Formats" on page 74 for details.
Create Single Image Files
The TIFF and PDF formats support multiple page documents. If you are scanning as a TIFF or PDF file
and want one file created for each image scanned, select Create single image files. Note that this option is
automatically selected and disabled if you have selected a format that only supports single pages, such as
BMP or JPG.
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.
