Destinations - Export Settings tab

This tab provides settings for images sent directly from a device to a destination. Save your changes to enable them to take effect.

The Export Settings tab is not available for use with the Fax, Coversheet, Inbox, or Kofax Capture destinations. The settings do not apply to these destinations; also, Kofax Capture provides its own export settings.

Fields

The Export Settings tab has the following fields.

Allow User to Override Export Settings

Select this check box to allow users to access and override the preset export settings from the MFP or other device. Otherwise, the export settings cannot be accessed by the user.

File Type

The format in which the file is exported. The default value is TIFF. The remaining fields on the tab vary, based on the file type selection.

Fields for TIFF File Type

If you select TIFF as the file type, the following fields appear on the Export Settings tab.

Multipage

By default, single page is the document type. With single page, files are exported to a folder containing one file per scanned image. Select this check box to change to multipage, which exports files to a folder containing documents (one file per document). Each multipage file contains all the images that belong to a document.

To ensure best results for a fax destination, you may want to change the default setting to Multipage. Otherwise, you will send one file per page to the fax server.

Tiff - Compression Mode

The type of compression mode to be applied to the exported image. If you require a compression format that is not listed, use the compression settings in Kofax Capture.

Field for JPEG File Type

If you select JPEG as the file type, the following field appears on the Export Settings tab.

JPEG Quality

Set the quality as a percentage. By default, 75% is the default, which is the same as Kofax Capture.

If you select PDF as the file type, the following fields appear on the Export Settings tab.
