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:

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

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 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".
