If you want to select another folder, click Other, then click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh) and select the folder. To save your image on the desktop, simply click Other.

2.	Specify a file name prefix. A 3-digit number is automatically added to the file name, but you can change the Start Number if you like.

Format (File Extension)	Explanation
BITMAP (*.BMP)	A standard image file format for most Windows programs.
JPEG (*.JPG)	The JPEG format lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the compression, the lower the image quality. The TIFF format is recommended when modification and retouching are required.
Multi-TIFF (*.TIF)	A TIFF format where multiple pages are saved to the same file and you can edit the images using a program that supports it.
PDF (*.PDF)	A document format that can be read on both Windows and Macintosh systems using Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Multi-page documents can be saved as one PDF file.
PICT (*.PCT)	A standard image file format for most Macintosh programs.
PRINT Image Matching II (*.JPG or *.TIF)	File formats that include Epson PRINT Image Matching® II data for enhanced quality and a wider color range (does not affect the way the image displays on the screen).
TIFF (*.TIF)	A file format created for exchanging data between many programs, such as graphic and DTP software.
