Selecting Color/File Format (Scan to File Server)

You can select the color mode and file format when sending documents to a file server.
The default setting is <B&W TIFF>.


Remark
  • If you select the <Color PDF (Compact)> or <Color PDF (Compact+OCR)>, <300 x 300 dpi> is available as the resolution.
  • Details about the color modes are as follows:
  • Color: Scans in full-color regardless of whether the original is in full-color or black-and white.
  • B&W: Scans in black-and-white regardless of whether the original is in full-color or black-and-white.
  • Details about the file format is as follows:
  • TIFF: Sends the file in the TIFF format. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the B&W mode.
  • JPEG: Sends the file in the JPEG format. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the Color mode.
  • PDF: Sends the file in the PDF format.
  • PDF (Compact): Enables you to send files containing <Text> originals or <Text/Photo> originals using a high compression ratio. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the Color mode.
  • PDF (OCR): Enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) on a scanned original to create a PDF with searchable text.
  • PDF (Compact+OCR): Enables you to send files containing <Text> originals or <Text/Photo> originals using a high compression ratio, as well as perform OCR on a scanned original to create a PDF with searchable text.
  • To view a JPEG file, a software application that supports the JPEG format is required.
  • To view a TIFF file, a software application that supports the TIFF format (such as Imaging for Windows) is required.
  • To view a PDF file, Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.
  • If a black-and-white original is scanned in the Color mode, it is counted as a color scan.
