File Formats

The available file formats, in the 

Select format

 panel, are based on the selected destination for scanning. For 

example, if scanning to the destination 

Transfer to Storage

, all file formats are available as the files are saved 

directly to a folder without opening any application. If the destination is an application, such as Microsoft’s Paint, 

only the file types the application supports will be available in the 

Select format

 panel. 

Most of the format icons have a right-click menu to select file format specific options, or choose additional formats 

that are not represented in the panel by default. 

The format names in the 

Select format

 panel indicates the file type extension for the scanned file.

Create Single Image Files

The TIFF and PDF formats, as well as the text file formats, support multiple page documents in a single file. If you 

are scanning as a TIFF or PDF format, or as one of the text formats, and want one file created for each image 

scanned, select 

Create single image files

. Note that this option is automatically selected and disabled if you have 

selected a format that only supports single pages, such as BMP, PNG, GIF, or JPG.

Image Formats

Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF 

are standard image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing, such as photo touch-

up or color correction.
