DocuMate 742 Scanning From One Touch
Selecting Document and File Format Options
The format option 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.
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats indicate their file types. See
“Text Formats” on page 18 for details.
Create Single Image Files
The TIFF and PDF formats support multiple page documents. If you are scanning as a TIFF or
PDF file 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 or JPG.
This option can be used in conjunction with Configure Before Scan to send multiple single-page
files to a destination when scanning from within the TWAIN interface.
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 JPG format.
Because JPG image files can be reduced in size, the JPG format is often used for images on web
pages, or if file size might be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPG files are
reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for your
scanned images from the JPG file format icon.
