(Windows only)
A standard image file format for Windows. Most Windows programs, including
word processing programs, can read and prepare images in this format.

be restored, and the quality deteriorates each time the data is saved. The TIFF
format is recommended when modification and retouching are required.

edit the scanned images before saving them. See Epson Scan Help for details.
