    Scanrouter Lite Jpeg Settings (can only get tiffs)

    Hello,
    I have scanrouter lite setup thanks to this forum and all is working well. I have set up scans to pdf with no issue, but I can't figure out how to get jpegs working. Every type of setup I have tried results in a tiff.

    The settings are, save as file..
    then in the black/white box there is no place to select jpeg, just all different types of tiffs, and an option to leave format as is..

    the greyscale/color box has jpeg and I have selected it, but I am still getting tiffs and not sure why.

    Any suggestions? I am probably missing something very simple.
    Thanks,
    Mac

      What model machine is this?

      I'm almost positive that you can only scan a color document as a .jpg, and you can't scan color with a bw scanner.

      OK, that sounds funny, but you know what I mean...

          The model is a Gestetner DSm415

          Here are a couple of screenshots of the options I have in scanrouter Lite and how I have them set up currently..

              I think Ken's got it. I know that on the Copystar line all the JPEG functions remain grayed out until the color scan function is selected, then the JPEG file type becomes available.

              I haven't worked with this ScanGear, but I suspect that it has to be a color scanner to take a JPEG.

              Here's the brochure: http://www.gestetnerusa.com/(All)/BW...2dpi_broch.pdf
              There is no mention of Color scanning, or JPEG file type option. I'd have to conclude that it's not available to you. Really, it's not much of a MFP. 1-to-2 sided only? The least they could have done is provided you with a duplexing document feeder. =^..^=

              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                  Copies will not scan as JPG unless they are GRAYSCALE. If I recall.
