Previous Next

This section explains the procedure for specifying the file type of a file you want to send.

File types can be specified when sending files by e-mail or Scan to Folder, sending stored files by e-mail or Scan to Folder, and saving files on a removable memory device.

You can select one of the following file types:

- Single Page: [TIFF / JPEG], [PDF], [High Compression PDF] ,[PDF/A]

  If you select a single-page file type when scanning multiple originals, one file is created for each single page and the number of files sent is the same as the number of pages scanned.

- Multi-page: [TIFF], [PDF], [High Compression PDF] ,[PDF/A]

  If you select a multi-page file type when scan multiple originals, scanned pages are combined and sent as a single file.

  Selectable file types differ depending on the scan settings and other conditions. For details about file types, see Notes About and Limitations of File Types.

Press [Send File Type / Name].

Select a file type.

Press [OK].

- If you select [Store to HDD] under [Store File], you cannot specify the file type.

- If you select [Store to HDD + Send] under [Store File], files are sent in the specified file type by e-mail or Scan to Folder. However, files cannot be stored in the specified format-instead, they are automatically stored in one of the following file types, depending on the compression and Original Type settings:

  - JPEG

    Under [Scanner Features], [Compression (Grey Scale / Full Colour)] is set to [On], and originals are scanned in full color or gray scale.

  - TIFF

    All other scanning methods

- The version of the created PDF files is 1.4.

- High Compression PDF files retain the character legibility of uncompressed PDF files but have much lower data volume. PDF/A is suitable for storing data for a long period of time. For the limitations that apply to each file type, see Notes About and Limitations of File Types.
