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 page format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may
want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do
not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is
also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-readable
files. As with the JPG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or
quality.
