Hi Lila1956,

The data format often depends on the nature of the document. Text is typically saved as PDF, and images are usually saved as JPG. Changing the document type often will change the data format.

Type "IJ Scan Utility" in the search box in the lower left of the screen.
Open IJ Scan Utility.
Place your original.
Press the "Photo" button for JPG.

The default save location for JPG scanned images is the Windows "Pictures" folder.

I am on the verge of throwing this scanner in the bin. Why oh why is it so complicated to not scan in a jpeg format? The web is full of complaints about this machine. Canon this is a big big mistake and this machine is hopeless.

I am having the same issues. I am using windows 10 and all i want to do is save images and documents in jpeg format and save them to a seperate folder. All images are save as PDF (which I do not want) and is a word file.

Cannon, You have made a good product, but it feels like you have not really tested it. If you had done that you would probably realise that your "AUTO SCAN" button has a PDF fetish. There is a very simple fix, can you please add the option to choose JPEG under the Data Format dropdown of the Auto scan button settings and stop restricting us to "auto" only. I have no problem with having a manufacturer feature enabled by default, but can you PLEASE give us the option to personalise it and chose to dedicate a button to JPEG. I am aware I can open the software and click "photo", but for streamlined useage having a JPEG button would be better - and i'm not the only one with that opinion, so PLEASE just tweak the GUI and enable the choice of JPEG, one of your devs could do this in no time - I speak from experience. I really hope you actually pay attention to this. Regards, D

I will contact the support group and see how likely it is that the JPEG option can be added to the UI. I will update this forum with any progress made.

Me facing same problem. My system is Win 7 32 Bit. Irrespective of all settings I do, after pressing AUTO SCAN it always saves as PDF. Why can't you update your interface to just accommodate a 'Target File Type' selection? Why ??

Hello, I have just recently upgraded from the LiDE 110 to the LiDE 220, since macOS Mojave 10.14.6 will no longer support the LiDE 110. Having said that, I was so used to the interface of the Canon LiDE Scan Utility, as it actually allowed the user to be able to do a pre-scan, so you can adjust the image, i.e. if crooked, you can manually fix, then do an actual scan. The IJ Scan Utility on the LiDE 220 is all automatic, which is highly anoying. Is there any way to perform a pre-scan before doing any final scan? Please help, as this is making me frustrated. The Canon MP Navigator EX for CanoScan LiDE 110 was far more intuitive, and only wish that this could still be used.

Hi beatrice1894,

Please use the "Driver" button on the IJ Scan Utility. In the following window that appears, you can then click "Preview" and make any necessary adjustments before scanning and saving the image.
