Format (File Extension) Explanation BITMAP (*.BMP) A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows (Windows only) 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. (With other formats, each document is saved in a separate file.) You can also edit the images before saving them. To open Multi-TIFF files, you need a program that supports it. 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. PDF (*.PDF) A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems (platform independent). To use PDF documents, 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. You can also edit the scanned images before saving them. PICT (*.PCT) A standard image file format for Macintosh. Most Macintosh (Macintosh only) programs, including word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format. PRINT Image A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching® II data for Matching II JPEG enhanced quality and a wider color range. PRINT Image Matching (*.JPG) or TIFF II compatible printers can then print using this data for brilliant, (*.TIF) true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Matching data does not affect the way the image displays on a screen.) Available in JPEG or TIFF format. 64 Scanning
