    Selecting Color/File Format (E-Mail)

    You can select the color mode and file format when sending documents to an e-mail address.

    I-Fax documents are always sent in <B&W TIFF>.

    NOTE
    • If you select the <Color PDF (Compact)>, <300 x 300 dpi> is available as the resolution.
    • Details about the color modes are as follows:
    - Color: Scans in full color regardless of whether the original is in full color or black and white.
    - B&W: Scans in black and white regardless of whether the original is in full color or black and white.
    • Details about the file format is as follows:
    - TIFF: Sends the file in the TIFF format. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the Black and White mode.
    - JPEG: Sends the file in the JPEG format. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the Color mode.
    - PDF: Sends the file in the PDF format.
    - PDF (Compact): Enables you to send files containing <Text> originals or <Text/Photo> originals using a high compression ratio. This file format is available only when you scan the document in the Color mode.
    • To view a JPEG file, a software application that supports the JPEG format is required.
    • To view a TIFF file, a software application that supports the TIFF format (such as Imaging for Windows) is required.
    • To view a PDF file, Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat Reader is required.
