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:
Single Page: [TIFF / JPEG], [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]
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" below.
Press [Send File Type / Name].
Select a file type.
If the File Type is set to [PDF], configure PDF File Setting as required.
Press [OK].
If you select [Store to HDD] under [Store File], you can only select [High Compression PDF] or [OCR Settings]. When sending stored files, you can select single-page or multi-page file types.
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" below.
When you select [High Compression PDF], you can select Standard (Fast) mode and Text Priority (Slow) mode. When you select Text Priority (Slow) mode, the machine makes high compression PDF files with a higher imaging quality than PDF files made in Standard (Fast) mode.
Notes about and limitations of file types
Depending on the file format you select, the following limitations will apply:
Single Page [TIFF / JPEG]
Originals scanned in black and white are sent as TIFF files.
According to the settings specified for [Compression (Gray Scale / Full Color)] under [Scanner Features], originals scanned in full color or gray scale are sent in one of the following file types:
[On] : JPEG file
[Off] : TIFF file
Multi-page [TIFF] or [PDF]
When [Full Color: Text / Photo], [Full Color: Glossy Photo], [Gray Scale], or [Auto Color Select] is specified under [Original Type] and [Compression (Gray Scale / Full Color)] is set to [On] under [Scanner Features], you cannot select [TIFF] under [Multi-page].
