DocuMate 700 Scanning From One Touch
Image Formats
Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as
images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do
additional image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file
formats tend to be larger than the JPG format.
Because JPG image files can be reduced in size, the JPG format is often used for images on web
pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPG files are
reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for your
scanned images from the JPG file format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may want to select PDF as the
format when scanning text pages that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The
PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-readable files. As with
the JPG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or quality.
To select a JPEG or PDF file size:
1. Select JPG or PDF as the page format.
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.
A menu opens.
3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.
Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality.
Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality.
Maximize Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.
Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the One Touch Properties
window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF selected as the Page Format are not affected,
so you can set the JPG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.
4. Click OK or Apply on the One Touch Properties window.
Text Formats
Selecting the text format option also selects OCR processing as an automatic step for scanning.
Therefore, when you scan a document with the text format selected, the text portions of the
document are automatically converted to editable text.
Select a text format for documents with text or numbers, such as a business letter, report, or
spreadsheet. The text format icon has several file formats available, depending on the
Destination Application you select.
