Description

[File Type]

Select the file type to be saved from the following:

  • [PDF]: A type available in most operating systems, which allows you to assign a password to a file or encrypt a file. Important original data should be saved as a PDF file.

  • [Compact PDF]: Save to a file that has a smaller size than normal PDF format. We recommend this format when you want to reduce file size to enable sending by E-mail etc.

  • [TIFF]: This is one kind of versatile image formats. TIFF format supports multiple pages, in which multi-page documents can be saved as single file.

  • [JPEG]: A file format widely used in digital cameras. Suitable for saving photo data. JPEG format does not support the saving of multiple pages as a single file.

  • [XPS]: Extension of an XML-base file that is applied in Windows. You can install the XPS viewer to view or print data even if the source application is not provided.

  • [Compact XPS]: Save to a file that has a smaller size than normal XPS format.

  • [PPTX]: Extension of an XML-base file that is created using PowerPoint of Microsoft Office 2007 or later.

[Page Setting]

Tap this button to select a filing page unit when an original consists of multiple pages.

  • [Multi Page]: Select this check box to convert all pages to a single file. However, if [File Type] is set to [JPEG], you cannot select [Multi Page].

  • [Page Separation]: Select this option to divide a file into a specified number of pages for transmission using E-mail, SMB, or FTP transmission. For example, if you enter "2" to scan 10 original pages, the original is divided into five separate files. The specified number of pages is stored and the pages are saved as a single file ([Multi Page]) in a User Box. Pages are converted as a single file by the specified number of pages.

[E-mail Attachment Method]

You can select the E-mail attachment method when [Page Setting] is set to [Page Separation].

  • [All Files Sent as 1 E-mail]: Attach all files to one E-mail.

  • [1 File per E-Mail]: Sends one E-mail for each file.

[PDF Detail Setting]

If [PDF] or [Compact PDF] is selected for file format, you can configure the PDF option settings.

You can enhance security by attaching a digital signature that identifies the author of the file, by file encryption, etc.
