Scanner: Canon iR c3100
Kodak Imaging for Window
-------
I scanned a color document from Kodak Imaging via Canon scanner. This works fine. When I save as the new scanned image, the default type is .tif. Saving it as .tif format is fine, but if the document is in color, the file size becomes big. So, I change it to .jpg, which seems to reduce the file size. My question is - I'm not sure why but I get a choice of .jpg in type sometimes, but not all the time. Sometimes, the type shows only .tif. Nothing else.
Do you know why it happens and how to change it so that I can have a choice of .jpg all the time?
Thank you very much in advance. / hb

I clicked on the link and downloaded the driver no problem. But I have one question. The site says, "Canon Driver Downloads is for the support of Canon Products SOLD IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY." I am in USA and we purchased iR c3100 in USA. Does it matter? Sorry to bother, but if you can comment me, I appreciate it very much. Thank you. /hb
I checked Canon's USA site and their Image Runner site and the iR C3100 is not listed. And what they're saying on the Australian website is that the product is only sold in Australia and NZ, which can't be correct as you've purchased yours in the US. But there's no difference worldwide in any PC software.
The only global difference is that hardware products sold in Oz and NZ are 240V 50hz and US products are normally 220V 60Hz.

Could be a software mismatch. Here's Canon's software for that product:
Colour Network Scan Gear v2.12
Color Network ScanGear is a 32-bit TWAIN-compliant scanner driver that
allows computers on a network to use a Canon Colour iR series digital
copier as a scanner.
For Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows XP
