Scan to file 87
environment within which applications can exchange image data. This
richness is required to take advantage of the varying capabilities of scanners
and other imaging devices. For example, TIFF supports image compression
with no loss. Though TIFF is a rich format, it can easily be used for simple
scanners and applications as well because the number of required fields is
small.

Tiff subformat
Within the ‘Tiff subformat’ option, you can define the ‘Organization’ and
‘Compression’ of the file.
Organization
can be (select with the arrow buttons):
■
Stripped
■
Tiled
■
Raw
Note:
Only choose ‘Stripped’ or ‘Tiled’ when you are sure you can use these
organizations afterwards. Choose ‘Raw’ in any other case.
Compression
can be (select with the arrow buttons):
■
Group 4
■
Group 3-1D
■
None
Note:
Only choose ‘Group 4’ or ‘Group 3-1D’ when you are sure you can use
these compressions afterwards. Choose ‘None’ in any other case.
Note:
If you are scanning grayscales or dark originals, use Group 3-1D
compression. In these cases, group 4 can increase the file size.
Note:
‘Group 4’ or ‘Group 3-1D’ are compression methods which are
optimized for text and vector drawings. If you choose these compressions when
scanning a photo with many grayscales, these compressions can result in a
negative compression: the file size increases instead of decreasing. Use these
compressions sparingly.
