Question: Which file types/formats can I scan documents to?
 

When scanning using the library printers you can have your documents emailed in a choice of file types or formats. These include:

  • PDF
  • JPEG
  • XPS
  • Word 
  • Powerpoint

The default setting is to send the document in PDF format. To change this you need to change the options on the right hand-side of the page which appears after you have chosen the Send to Myself option (see our FAQ below on how to scan if unsure). This page will look like the below image and were you see PDF (Compact) you need to press this in order to pick another format.

You will then be shown the screen below were you can choose a different format. Important: If you wish to send it via Word or Powerpoint you need to choose the OOXML option and then in the box to the right you will see Word and Powerpoint.
