Image Format. You can select the save format for the scanned image. If you select Options, you can make detailed settings for each save format. The following shows the supported save formats and extensions. Note: Some items and settings may not be available depending on the scanner you are using. Read this help for the sections that apply to your scanner. You cannot make settings for any items in Image Format Options for PNM and PNG formats. ■PNM (*.pnm) A file format that is supported by a wide variety of Linux applications. ■JPEG (*.jpg) A file format which allows you to compress the data to be saved. If the compression ratio is high, the image quality declines, and you cannot convert the image back to the original quality. Every time you save the image, the quality declines. We recommend saving the scanned image in TIFF format when processing the image. ■PNG (*.png) A file format which allows you to compress the data to be saved. The image quality does not decline by compressing. ■TIFF (*.tif) A file format created to exchange data between various applications such as graphic software and DTP software. ■Multi-TIFF (*.tif) A file format in which you can save multiple pages as one file. You can save up to 200 pages per file. To open a Multi-TIFF file, you need an application that supports Multi-TIFF. Scanning may be interrupted depending on the number of originals, resolution settings, or the amount of free space on the hard disk. ■PDF (*.pdf) A general file format that can be used across different operating systems and provides the same level of screen display and print result. 9.4.1.
