File Output Types
The Kodak Scan Station 100 offers you a choice of saving the images
of your paper documents to these industry-standard file types.
• TIFF – Tagged Image File Format. In single- or multi-page format,
these images can be either color, grayscale or black and white. They
are most often used for black and white images. Using Group IV
compression, black and white TIFF files can be made very small for
easy network transport and storage. While color and grayscale
images can also be saved in TIFF format, they will be saved without
compression and can be quite large as a result. TIFF files are
normally saved with a .tif file name extension.
• Searchable PDF — like regular PDF format files but these supply the
document text as well as the original image data. The result is a file
where the text can be searched. These files are also saved with a.pdf
file name extension. The Kodak Scan Station supports searchable
PDF in each of the supported languages.
• Image Only PDF — a non-searchable image-only version of the
scanned document.
• Secure PDF — PDF files can be protected with a 128-bit encryption
algorithm using a private key defined by the user.
• JPEG — a file format created by the Joint Photographic Experts
Group. This format is most commonly used for color and grayscale
images. Compression squeezes the file size of color and grayscale
images down to a manageable size suitable for sending over the
network or attaching to an email. These files are saved with a .jpg file
name extension. When saving your document to JPEG format, each
side of the page that you scan will be saved as a separate .jpg file.
