The Saved Image
Step 2 • Scanning
Once the save or scan button is clicked, the final scan will commence. The image
will be written to the specified location in the specified file format (or will appear
in the window of the TWAIN-compliant application).
•
After the save or scan button is clicked,
a progress bar will display and the scan
will start a few seconds later.
•
To cancel the scan, click the [Cancel]
button on the progress bar.
•
The film will automatically eject from the scanner when auto eject is set to
on and the scan is finished.
About File Formats
The scanned image is saved as a file in the specified location. There are many
types of image file formats. A few examples include the TIFF, PCX, JPEG and
bitmap formats. However, the file formats accommodated by each application
can vary. If the scanned image is to be further processed with imaging editing
software, select a file format that can be read by that program.
Standard Windows format:
Bitmap (.BMP)
Generic image file formats:
TIFF (.TIF), PC Paintbrush (.PCX)
Compressed file formats:
JPEG (.JPG)
Other formats:
FlashPix (.FPX)
The period followed by three letters is called the file extension, which
indicates the file format. The file extension is automatically appended to the
file name when the file is saved.
