Not sure about your scanner software, but most of the time you have to select a file name and file format (extension) after you scan. Normally, you should select JPEG (.jpg extension). This is a compressed file that makes a lot smaller file than an uncompressed (or raw) image like a TIFF file. For the purpose of e-mail or posting on a website, a JPEG file works just fine. Only need something with more resolution if you are printing enlargments of the image.
