Selecting Document and File Format Options
The Document and Fage Format options that you select determines the
file format of the scanned document. Appropriate format options and file
types are available for the type of Destination Application selected for the
button.
The available options are for images and text.
Create Single Image Files
The TIFF and PDF formats, as well as the text document formats, support
multiple page documents. Select Create single image files if you want
one file created for each image scanned. Note that this option is
automatically selected and disabled if you have selected a format that
only supports single pages, such as BMP 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. Both of those file formats tend
to be larger than the JPEG format.
The JPEG format is often used for images on web pages, or if file size
might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are
reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the
degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. The PDF
format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-
readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced
in size or quality.

several text formats available.
