Send and Fax Functions

This section describes the operation procedures for the Send and Fax functions you can access from the top screen of the Send and Fax functions.

Specifying the File Format for Sending Documents
 
You can send documents in a variety of file formats, including TIFF, PDF, and JPEG. This gives you the freedom to send documents in a manner that is suited to the purpose of the document, as well as the recipient’s document handling environment. Scanned original images are converted to the specified file format and sent via e-mail or to a file server or USB memory media device.

Press [File Format].

† You cannot select the file format when sending I-faxes or faxes.

File Formats
In addition to standard TIFF, PDF, and JPEG file formats, the machine also supports PDF (Compact) and PDF (OCR) files.
PDF (Compact) files are archived with a higher compression ratio than normal PDF. The resulting file data size is smaller than normal PDF, and therefore recommended for jobs that are to be sent over the network.
PDF (OCR) files perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on scanned documents to create a PDF with searchable text.
† PDF (OCR) is available only when the OCR function is activated with the optional Color Send Searchable PDF Kit-C1.
