(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. You can also  edit the
scanned  images before saving  them. See Epson  Scan  Help  for details.  To  open Multi -TIFF
files, you  need  a  program that  supports  it. 
						

							PDF  (*.pdf)A document format that  can be  read  on  both Windows and Macintosh  systems  (platformindependent).  To  use PDF  documents in  Windows,  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.
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.
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.
The  check boxes  at the  bottom of the  window give you  these  options:
Overwrite any  files with the  same name  
Select this  option  if  you  want  to  reuse the  selected  file name  and location  and overwrite  previous files  with  the  same names.
Show this  dialog  box before  next  scan  
Select this  option  if  you  want  the  File  Save Settings  window to  appear automatically  before you  scan.  If you  deselect  it,  you
must  click the  
 File  Save Settings  icon  to  open the  window before clicking  the  Scan  button.
Open  image
 folder  after  scanning  
Select this  option  if  you  want  Windows Explorer or  the  Macintosh  Finder  to  automatically  open the  folder where your scanned
image file is saved  when Epson  Scan  finishes  scanning.
Show Add Page dialog  after  scanning  
Select this  option  if  you  want  the  Add  Page  Confirmation window to  appear automatically  after each scan to  PDF  or  multi -Tiff.
The  Add  Page  Confirmation window includes the   Add page, Edit page , and Save File  buttons.
