File Output Types

The Kodak Scan Station 100 offers you a choice of saving the images of your paper documents to these industry-standard file types.

•TIFF – Tagged Image File Format. In single- or multi-page format, these images can be either color, grayscale or black and white. They are most often used for black and white images. Using Group IV compression, black and white TIFF files can be made very small for easy network transport and storage. While color and grayscale images can also be saved in TIFF format, they will be saved without compression and can be quite large as a result. TIFF files are normally saved with a .tif file name extension.

•Searchable PDF — like regular PDF format files but these supply the document text as well as the original image data. The result is a file where the text can be searched. These files are also saved with a.pdf file name extension. The Kodak Scan Station supports searchable PDF in each of the supported languages.

•Image Only PDF — a non-searchable image-only version of the scanned document.

•Secure PDF — PDF files can be protected with a 128-bit encryption algorithm using a private key defined by the user.

•JPEG — a file format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This format is most commonly used for color and grayscale images. Compression squeezes the file size of color and grayscale images down to a manageable size suitable for sending over the network or attaching to an email. These files are saved with a .jpg file name extension. When saving your document to JPEG format, each side of the page that you scan will be saved as a separate .jpg file.
