Saving Scanned Images
Scanned images are saved either while the original is being scanned or after it
has been scanned. In either case, how the scanned image is saved differs
according to the scan conditions and the type of the file to save the scanned
image to.
Restrictions in the Number of Characters in File Names
•
The name of the file to save scanned images to must be limited to 59 single-
byte characters excluding extensions. An error message is displayed if the file
name exceeds 59 characters.
•
Limit the absolute path name for the folder to save the file to 256 characters.
About Save Formats
•
Scanned images can be saved to files in one of the TIFF (*.tif), BMP (*.bmp),
JPEG (*.jpg) or JBIG (*.jbg) file formats. Note, however, that the types of files
that can be selected differ according to “Mode” in the scanner settings. (See
“Mode” P. 23)

MEMO
If you have selected JBIG (*.jbg) as the file format, the resolution (dpi)
information when the image was scanned is not saved to the image file.
All images scanned with JBIG (*.jbg) selected as the file format or images
saved in JBIG (*.jbg) file format after they have been scanned are saved as
“300 dpi” images regardless of the resolution setting (200 dpi or 300 dpi) that
was active when they were scanned. For this reason, the images cannot be
printed properly even if you select “Actual size” and “Fit to paper” at [Print
Format]. So, we recommend setting the scan resolution when JBIG (*.jbg) is
selected as the file format to “300 dpi”.
