Selecting a File Format

You can select the file format to which documents are scanned, from PDF/JPEG/TIFF. For PDF, you can select a highly compressed PDF file with a reduced file size.

<Scan>

Specify a destination with <E-Mail>/<File>

Select a file format

<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>.

<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)> compresses photos and illustrations on documents more than <PDF>. 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.
