Description

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. You can also edit the scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for details. To open Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
|
|
PDF (*.pdf)
|
A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems (platform independent). To use PDF documents in Windows, you need Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file. When you save color or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a Compression Level.
