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 JPEG format when scanning in color.
Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is often used
for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically
sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by lowering their image quality,
and you can select the degree of quality for your scanned images from the
JPEG file format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may want to
select PDF as the file format when scanning text pages that do not require
OCR processing. The PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents
on web sites as pdf-readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format
can be reduced in size or quality.
To select a JPEG or PDF file size:
1. Select JPG or PDF as the file format.
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.
3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.
Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality.
Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality.
Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.
Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the
OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF
selected as the file format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or
PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.
4. Click OK or Apply on the OneTouch Properties window.
