"type_name_with_this_quote.jpg"

Or, after the scan is complete and it has become a file, go to
the menu where it says File and click on Save or Save As, then save it as a .jpeg or .jpg file extension.

In the software that is used for scanner, there is the option to choose the default format for saving. Usually it defaults to TIFF which is used for pbulications. You can open the software window and look for settings options, and change it from TIFF to jpeg.
