About File Formats

The scanned image is saved as a file in the specified location. There are many types of image file formats. A few examples include the TIFF, PCX, JPEG and bitmap formats. However, the file formats accommodated by each application can vary. If the scanned image is to be further processed with imaging editing software, select a file format that can be read by that program.

Standard Windows format:	Bitmap (.BMP)
Generic image file formats:	TIFF (.TIF), PC Paintbrush (.PCX)
Compressed file formats:	JPEG (.JPG)
Other formats:	FlashPix (.FPX)

The period followed by three letters is called the file extension, which indicates the file format. The file extension is automatically appended to the file name when the file is saved.
