Q: Will this printer save a scanned image as a pdf file or do you need additional software?
A: Here are the file types from the user manual. By default it scans to JPEG, but if you use the scanning software provided by Epson, you can change what it gets saved as. Bitmap (*.bmp) A standard image file format for most Windows programs. JPEG (*.jpg) An image format that lets you highly compress image data. However, the higher the compression, the lower the image quality. (The TIFF format is recommended when you need to modify or retouch your scanned image.) Multi-TIFF (*.tif) A TIFF file format when multiple pages are saved to the same file, allowing you to edit the images using a compatible program. PDF (*.pdf) A document format that is readable by Windows and OS X systems using Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or other programs. You can save multi-page documents in one PDF file. PICT (*.pct) A standard image file format for most OS X 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.
Q: does it work with an android smartphone besides an iphone??
A: It works with Android phones also. I've downloaded the epson iPrint app on my LG G Flex2 and it works well. You can also use Google cloud print, but I haven't registered my printer for that. There are many options for printing directly from your phone, I'm sure you'll find one that works best for you. =)
