Scan to Card

You can scan black and white and color originals into a media card. Black and white originals will be stored in TIFF file format (*.TIF). Color originals may be stored in PDF (*.PDF) or JPEG (*.JPG) file format. The default setting is COLOR STD and the default file format is PDF. File names default to the current date. For example, the fifth image scanned on July 1, 2002 would be named 07010205.PDF. You can change the color, quality and file name as you want.
