    							Data FormatsYou can select a data format when saving scanned images. You should specify the most suitable data
    format according to how you want to use the image on which application.
    Available data formats vary by application and operating system (Windows or Mac OS).
    See below for the characteristics of each image data format.
    PNG (Standard File Extension: .png)
    A data format often used on websites.
    PNG is suitable for editing saved images.
    JPEG (Standard File Extension: .jpg)
    A data format often used on websites and for digital camera images.
    JPEG features high compression rates. JPEG images slightly degrade every time they are saved, and cannot be returned to their original state.
    JPEG is not available for black and white images.
    TIFF (Standard File Extension: .tif)
    A data format featuring a relatively high compatibility between various computers and applications.
    TIFF is suitable for editing saved images.
    Note
    •
    Some TIFF files are incompatible.
    •
    IJ Scan Utility supports the following TIFF file formats.
    •
    Uncompressed, black and white binary
    •
    Uncompressed, RGB (8 bits per channel)

    PDF (Standard File Extension: .pdf) A data format for electronic documents, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated.
    It can be used on various computers and operating systems, and fonts can be embedded as well; therefore,
    people in different environments can exchange the files without being aware of the differences.

    							Color Matching"Color Matching" is the act of making adjustments so that the color tones match between the original item,
    the monitor display, and the color printout. On your scanner or printer, the color tones are adjusted as shown below.
    Example: When sRGB is selected as the output profile (target):
    The image's color space is converted from the scanner's color space to sRGB by ScanGear.
    When displaying on a monitor, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the monitor's color space based on the operating system's monitor settings and the application's working space settings.
    When printing, the image's color space is converted from sRGB to the printer's color space based on the
    application's print settings and the printer driver's settings.
