When you click this button, either the [TIFF Setting] dialog box, the [JPEG Setting] dialog box, or the [PDF Setting] dialog box will appear.
Note
If the intermediate file created during the conversion exceeds 250 MB, the conversion will be cancelled.
If you are creating multi-page TIFF files and the total size of the intermediate files exceeds 250 MB, a message appears to prompt you. If you continue, the conversion may be cancelled according to the state of memory or disk space of your PC.
