[File Type]
Overview
File Type refers to a format to store image data.
We recommend that you to distinguish the file type depending on whether the original is a document or image.
Main file type | Description |
|---|---|
File type advocated by Adobe Inc. as appropriate for documents. This type requires software such as Adobe Reader to view a PDF document. PDF includes Compact PDF with data compressed, as well as PDF/A, PDF/X, and PDF/E defined in the international standard (ISO). This system is compatible with normal PDF, Compact PDF, and PDF/A (PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b). | |
TIFF | General image file type. Since a lossless compression format is typically adopted, there is no image deterioration due to storage. |
XPS | File type advocated by Microsoft as appropriate for documents. This type requires software such as XPS Viewer to view an XPS document. |
JPEG | General image file type. Although this file type reduces the file size with a high data compression rate, images deteriorate with repeated storage due to the adoption of a lossy compression format. |
Tips
- PDF/A is an international standard (ISO19005) aimed at storing documents for long periods. This standard defines various requirements and prohibited items for a PDF file to be created.
Tips
PDF/A provides the following 2 compliance levels.
- PDF/A-1b: Requires that the same visual quality should be obtained when a PDF file is displayed using any type of hardware or software, and that meta data is to be embedded in a PDF file. This standard also prohibits the encryption and LZW compression, as well as use of transparent text.
- PDF/A-1a: In addition to the requirements defined in PDF/A-1b, this level requires that tags are to be added to describe the logical structure of a document, and that fonts are to be embedded a PDF file.
- This system supports both of these compliance levels. If a PDF file is created based on PDF/A in this system, it cannot be encrypted.
File Condition Setting Flow
For scan data to send, you can set various conditions such as the file unit, file name, or encryption in addition to the file type. Set the desired one as necessary.
The file condition setting flow is as follows.
Step 2
[Page Setting] settings
Select whether to set the file unit to multi-page mode or single-page mode when storing scan data.
For details, refer to Setting Items.
Step 3
[Encryption] settings
Set the password for browsing the scan data to be stored in PDF format.
Security can be enhanced because the password is required to open a file.
This item is available when [File Type] is set to [PDF].
For details, refer to [Encryption].
Step 4
[File Name] settings
Enter the file name for the scan data to send.
For details, refer to [File Name].
Step 5
[Color Compression] settings
Set the compression level for scan data.
For details, refer to [Color Compression].
