Specifying the File Type

This section explains the procedure for specifying the file type of a file you want to send.

File types can be specified when sending files by e-mail or Scan to Folder, sending stored files by e-mail or Scan to Folder, and saving files on a memory storage device.

You can select one of the following file types:

  • Single Page: [TIFF / JPEG], [PDF]

    If you select a single-page file type when scanning multiple originals, one file is created for each single page and the number of files sent is the same as the number of pages scanned.

  • Multi-page: [TIFF], [PDF]

    If you select a multi-page file type when scan multiple originals, scanned pages are combined and sent as a single file.

Selectable file types differ depending on the scan settings and other conditions.
