Document Type Size
Defines the font size of your final output – available selections include : Small (6-9 pts.),
Medium - Default (10-14 pts.), and Large (15 pts and above).
Scan Type
Defines the color output for your document. Make sure you choose the correct image
type; it is always best to choose the right image type. For instance, if you choose True
Color to scan a gray-level image, a bigger file size and longer scanning time results with
little improvement to image quality. Likewise, if your original is text only without images,
choose Black & White to achieve better quality than Gray.
Send to Application
Defines the application that will edit and save the scanned document. .RTF, .XLS, or .TXT
format is used if an "extensive text editing" is required. It will automatically open your
default or selected word processing application after scanning.
If .PDF with hidden text is selected from the list – it will directly open Adobe Acrobat
Reader, allowing you to view and print the scanned material in its original form. Plain
.PDF supports viewing, printing, and minor editing.

formatting especially when incorporating scanned materials to a website.
