[File Type]
Select a type of the file to save.
[BMP]: Used to save an image file adopted by the "Paint" software supplied with Windows. This type does not support a function that compresses data to be saved, so the file size is larger than JPEG or PNG.
[JPG]: Used to save a file commonly used for a digital camera, which is available for saving a photo. JPEG format does not support the saving of multiple pages as a single file.
[PNG]: Used to save an image file with no quality degradation when compressing a file. Note that some files cannot be displayed in old Web browsers.
[TIF]: This type is a versatile image format. This type is available for a multi-page file that provides multiple pages in one file.
