Format (File
Extension) Explanation
BITMAP
(*.BMP)
(Windows
only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows
programs, including word processing programs, can read and
prepare images in this format.
JPEG (*.JPG) A compressed file format in which the compression level can
be selected. The JPEG format lets you highly compress image
data. However, the higher the compression, the lower the
image quality. Any lost image quality data cannot be restored
and the quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The
TIFF format is recommended when modification and retouching
are required.
Multi-TIFF
(*.TIF)
A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file.
(With other formats, each document is saved in a separate file.)
You can also edit the images before saving them. To open
Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
TIFF (*.TIF) A file format created for exchanging data between many
programs, such as graphic and DTP software. When scanning
black & white images, you can specify the compression type.
PDF (*.PDF) A document format that can be read on both Windows and
Macintosh systems (platform independent). To use PDF
documents, you need Adobe Reader
®
or Acrobat.
®
Multi-page
documents can be saved as one PDF file. When you save color
or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a compression level.
You can also edit the scanned images before saving them. See
Scanning Directly to a PDF File
for details.
PRINT Image
Matching II
JPEG (*.JPG)
or TIFF (*.TIF)
A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching
®
II data for
enhanced quality and a wider color range. PRINT Image
Matching II compatible printers can then print using this data for
brilliant, true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Matching data does
not affect the way the image displays on a screen.) Available in
JPEG or TIFF format.
