I get this, and offering that option seems to make sense. But forcing
it (and forcing an image format like JPEG) doesn't make sense. So either
provide the knobs or let the host software do it.

My scanner just transfers the raw image. The scan program is responsible
for the transformation to the target format, which I can choose. This is
how /I/ want to be treated, as a paying customer.
