format,  the  Options  button may be  available  for making detailed settings.
Format  (File
Extension) Description
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. 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 Mac OS X systems
(platform  independent).  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)  (Mac  OS
X only) A standard  image file format for Mac OS X.  Most Mac OS X 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 this
data  for brilliant,  true-to -life results.  (PRINT  Image  Matching  data  does  not  affect
the  way  the  image displays  on  the  screen.)  Available  in  JPEG or  TIFF 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  (Office  Mode,  Home  Mode,  or  Professional  Mode only)
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  Mac OS X 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 in  PDF  or
