Format (File
Extension)
Description
BITMAP (*.bmp)
(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows programs, including
word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
JPEG (*.jpg) A compressed file format in which the Compression Level can be selected. The
JPEG format lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the
compression, the lower the image quality. Any lost image quality data cannot
be restored, and the quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The TIFF
format is recommended when modification and retouching are required.
Multi-TIFF (*.tif) A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file. You can also
edit the scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for details.
To open Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it.
PDF (*.pdf) A document format that can be read on both Windows and Mac OS X systems
(platform independent). To use PDF documents in Windows, you need Adobe
Reader or Acrobat. Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file. When
you save color or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a Compression Level.
PICT (*.pct) (Mac
OS X only)
A standard image file format for Mac OS X. Most Mac OS X programs, including
word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.
PRINT Image
Matching II JPEG (*.
jpg) or TIFF (*.tif)
A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching II data for enhanced quality
and a wider color range. Print Image Matching II compatible printers can then
print this data for brilliant, true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Matching data
does not affect the way the image displays on the screen.) Available in JPEG or
TIFF format.
TIFF (*.tif) A file format created for exchanging data between many programs, such as
graphic and DTP software. When scanning black & white images, you can
specify the Compression type.
The check boxes at the bottom of the window give you these options.
