Answer File types can be specified when sending files by e-mail or Scan to Folder, and sending stored files by e-mail or Scan to Folder.

You can select one of the following file types:

• Single Page: [TIFF / JPEG], [PDF], [High Compression 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], [High Compression PDF]
  If you select a multi-page file type when scanning multiple originals, scanned pages are combined and sent as a single file.

Important:

• High Compression PDF is available only for color scanning-compliant models.
• Selectable file types differ depending on the scan settings and other conditions.

To change the scan method from TIFF to PDF, follow these steps:

1. Press [Send File Type / Name].

1. Select a file type.

1. Press [OK].

Note:

• To deliver files, specify the file type using the delivery server computer.
• If you select [Store Only] under [Store File], you cannot specify the file type.
• If you select [Send & Store] under [Store File], files are sent by e-mail or Scan to Folder in the specified file type. However, files cannot be stored in the specified type - instead, they are automatically stored in one of the following file types, depending on the Compression and Scan Type settings.
  
  • JPEG
    Under [Scanner Features], [Compression (Gray Scale / Full Colour)] or [Compression (Gray Scale)] is set to [On], and originals are scanned in full color or gray scale.
  • TIFF
    All other scannings
• High Compression PDF reduces data volume of the file without loss of character legibility.

Notes About and Limitations of File Types
Depending on the file type 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 Colour)] or [Compression (Gray Scale)] 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]

• When full color, gray scale, or [Auto Colour Select] is specified under [Scan Type] and [Compression (Gray Scale / Full Colour)] or [Compression (Gray Scale)] is set to [On] under [Scanner Features], you cannot select [TIFF] under [Multi-page].
• Even if you select [TIFF] under [Multi-page], files stored in JPEG format are automatically changed to multi-page PDF files and then sent.

High Compression PDF

• You cannot select [High Compression PDF] if:
  
  • [Send & Store] is selected under [Store File].
  • [Black & White: Text], [Text], [B & W: Text / Line Art], [Text / Line Art], [B & W: Text / Photo], [Text / Photo], [Black & White: Photo], [Photo], or [Auto Colour Select] is selected under [Scan Type].
  • [100 dpi] or [600 dpi] is selected as the resolution.
  • [Preview] is selected.
  • The device is working with ScanRouter delivery software and the Capture function is in use. For details about the capture function, see the manuals provided with the ScanRouter delivery software.
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 / Adobe Reader 6.0 and later versions support High Compression PDF.
• High Compression PDF files created by this device cannot be printed using PDF Direct Print function.
• High Compression PDF files cannot be displayed correctly using DeskTopBinder Easy Viewer.
