Specifying the File Type

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:

Note

  • To deliver files, specify the file type using the delivery server computer. For details, see the manuals provided with the ScanRouter delivery software.

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

  • If you select [Store to HDD plus 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. For details about the limitations of High Compression PDF files, see "Notes About and Limitations of File Types".
