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 memory storage device.

You can select one of the following file types:

1Press [Send File Type / Name].

If the File Type is set to [PDF], configure PDF File Setting as required.

3Press [OK].

Note

  • 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 (Gray Scale / Full Color)] 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.

  • If [High Compression PDF] is selected in the PDF File Setting under the File Type, you can reduce the file size without changing the character legibility of uncompressed PDF files. 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.
