Description

[File Type]

Select a type of file you wish to send as follows.

  • [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]: Used to send a file with a smaller file size than the normal PDF type. 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]: A new image file format introduced in Windows Vista.

Select a filing page unit when an original consists of multiple pages.
