On the DSm725e, there is an option to change the file type when sending a single page scan. PDF or TIFF / JPEG. I sent a page using the latter type and it resulted in a TIFF file. I know that TIFF is a bitmap and JPEG is a compressed file but my question is are you able to designated either TIFF or JPEG? or is the distinction made in the machine somehow?

I remember asking someone smarter than me (those people are easy to find!)this same question a long time ago. The response I received then (I think I was questioning the function on one of the early color boxes) was that when selecting TIFF / JPEG, the system makes the distinction based on whether the file is color or black & white. This may have been the "dumbed down" answer given to a salesman by an IT guy, but it may have some relevance here. Is it possible that on a black & white system the distiction is made by whether the user selected photo mode? or a higher dpi?

Just guessing...sorry, no concrete answers here!
