Create Single Image Files

The TIFF and PDF formats, as well as the text document formats, support multiple page documents. Select Create single image files if you want one file created for each image scanned. Note that this option is automatically selected and disabled if you have selected a format that only supports single pages, such as BMP or JPG.

Image Formats

Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file formats tend to be larger than the JPEG format.

The JPEG format is often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.

The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. The PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf- readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or quality.
