TIFF—Creates multiple files or a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Settings menu of the Embedded
Web Server, then TIFF saves one page in each file. The file size is usually larger than an equivalent JPEG.

JPEG—Creates and attaches a separate file for each page of your original document, viewable by most Web browsers
and graphics programs

XPS—Creates a single XPS file with multiple pages, viewable using an Internet Explorer-hosted viewer and the .NET
Framework, or by downloading a third party standalone viewer

Content

This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Color can be turned
on or off with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your FTP file.

Text—Emphasize sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background

Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures

Photograph—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it
takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This
increases the amount of information saved.

Color—Sets the scan type and output for the FTP file. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an FTP site,
computer, e-mail address, or the printer.

Advanced Options

Touching this button opens a screen where you can change the following settings:

Advanced Imaging—Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, Shadow Detail, and Mirror Image before you scan the
document

Custom Job (Job Build)—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job

Transmission Log—Prints the transmission log or transmission error log

Scan Preview—Displays the first page of an image before it is included in the FTP file. When the first page is scanned,
the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.

Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the
area selected, leaving nothing on that portion of the scan.

Darkness—Adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out

Question

Tip

When should I use Text
mode?

Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of sending a document to an FTP site,
and preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern.

Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only contain
text or fine line art.

When should I use
Text/Photo mode?

Use Text/Photo mode when sending a document to an FTP site that contains a mixture of
text and graphics.

Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
