Description
BITMAP (*.bmp)
(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows 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. You can also edit the
scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for details. To open Multi-TIFF
files, you need a program that supports it.
