3. Select a file format as described in the following table. Depending on the format, 
the 
Options button may be available for making detailed settings.
Format (File 
Extension)
Explanation
BITMAP (*.BMP) 
(Windows only)A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows 
programs, including word processing programs, can read and 
prepare images in this format.
JPEG (*.JPG) A compressed file format in which the compression level can be 
selected. The JPEG format lets you highly compress image data. 
However, the higher the compression, the lower the image 
quality. Any lost image quality data cannot be restored and the 
quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The TIFF format 
is recommended when modification and retouching are required.
Multi-TIFF (*.TIF) A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file. 
(With other formats, each document is saved in a separate file.) 
You can also edit the images before saving them. To open 
Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
TIFF (*.TIF) A file format created for exchanging data between many 
programs, such as graphic and DTP software. When scanning 
black & white images, you can specify the compression type.
PDF (*.PDF) A document format that can be read on both Windows and 
Macintosh systems (platform independent). To use PDF 
documents, you need Adobe Reader
® or Acrobat.® Multi-page 
documents can be saved as one PDF file. When you save color or 
grayscale images in PDF, you can select a compression level. You 
can also edit the scanned images before saving them. 
PICT (*.PCT) 
(Macintosh only)A standard image file format for Macintosh. Most Macintosh 
programs, including word processing programs, can read and 
prepare images in this format.
PRINT Image 
Matching II JPEG 
(*.JPG) or TIFF 
(*.TIF)A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching
® II data for 
enhanced quality and a wider color range. PRINT Image Matching 
II compatible printers can then print using this data for brilliant, 
true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Matching data does not affect 
the way the image displays on a screen.) Available in JPEG or 
TIFF format.
