Selecting a File Format

 
You can select the file format to which documents are scanned. Select from PDF/JPEG/TIFF. With PDF, you can select from Compact PDF with a smaller data size or from OCR (optical character recognition) PDF allowing text searching. <Set PDF Details> allows you to enhance your PDF security.

<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>.

<PDF (Compact/OCR)>

Converts a scanned document into a text searchable PDF file with a reduced file size than that of <PDF>. The PDF file includes text data, extracted from the characters in the scanned document with OCR, enabling you to search the text using a computer.

<PDF (OCR)>

Converts a scanned document into a text searchable PDF file as <PDF (Compact/OCR)>, with no file size reduction.

<Set PDF Details>*

Select to specify the settings for generating an encrypted PDF with a digital signature.
Only available for the MF729Cx with the optional Send PDF Security Feature Set enabled.

<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)> and <PDF (Compact/OCR)> compress photos and illustrations on documents more than <PDF> and <PDF (OCR)>. 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. If you select <PDF (Compact)> or <PDF (Compact/OCR)>, you can specify the compression level.
For the resolutions of each file format, see Specifications for Scanning to Shared Folders (MF729Cx / MF628Cw).
If you select <Set PDF Details>, you can specify the PDF options of encryption and digital signatures for <PDF (Compact)>, <PDF>, <PDF (Compact/OCR)>, or <PDF (OCR)>.
In <PDF (Compact/OCR)> and <PDF (OCR)> you can configure the settings so that the machine automatically detects the document direction during scanning based on the direction of the text read by the OCR function. OCR (Text Searchable) Settings
