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.
3. Select a file format as described in the following table.
Depending on the format, the Options button may be
available for making detailed settings.

Explanation
BITMAP (*.BMP)
(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most
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.
