2.Specify a file name prefix with an alphanumeric character string. A 3-digit number is automatically added to the file name, but you can change the Start Number if you like. If you are scanning multiple images at once, each image will receive a different 3-digit number.

Note:

❏With Windows, the following characters cannot be used in the prefix.

\, /, :, ., *, ?, ", <, >,

❏With Mac OS X, you cannot use a colon (:) in the prefix.

Format

Explanation

(File Extension)

 

 

 

BITMAP (*.BMP)

A standard image file format for Windows. Most

(Windows only)

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. (With other formats, each

 

document is saved in a separate file.) You can

 

also edit the images before saving them. To open

 

Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports

 

it.
