ng 
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 ca\
nnot 
be restored, and the quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. T\
he 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 a\
lso 
edit the scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for deta\

PDF (*.pdf) A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems\
 
(platform independent). To use PDF documents in Windows, you need Adob\
e 
Reader or Acrobat. Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file. Wh\
en 
you save color or grayscale images in PDF, you can select a compression \
level.

(Macintosh only) A standard image file format for Macintosh. Most Macintosh programs, 
including word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this \
format.
PRINT Image 
Matching II JPEG 
(*jpg) or TIFF (*.tif) A file format that includes PRINT Image Matching II data for enhanced qu\
ality 
and a wider color range. Print Image Matching II compatible printers can\
 then 
print this data for brilliant, true-to-life results. (PRINT Image Match\
ing data 
does not affect the way the image displays on the screen.) Available in\
 JPEG or 
TIFF format.

graphic and DTP software. When scanning black & white images, you can 
specify the compression type.
