AXIS 700 User’s Manual Section 4: Using the AXIS 700 61
Scanning Parameters
For each scanning job, you can specify these parameters:
•Profile
• Paper size
•Double-sided
From the AXIS 700 control panel, you press Menu to scroll
through the menu. Use to find the desired value.
Note: oIf you do not specify anything, the default settings will be used.
Profile The AXIS 700 comes pre-installed with 8 standard profiles designed
to cover most needs. The profiles are maintained by the
Administrator. If you have permission, you can define your own
temporary profiles. See “Adding Temporary Profiles” on page 60.
Select a profile based on what is being scanned. Documents typically
use one of the Text profiles. Pictures could use one of the Text/Photo,
Gray or Color profiles.
Scanning color images to JPEG is more time consuming due to the
amount of computation performed by the AXIS 700. Therefore, do
not scan in higher resolution than needed, e.g. for web publishing of
color images, “Color low” (75 dpi) should be sufficient.
The pre-defined Text profiles use the most efficient compression,
CCITT G4, which minimizes the file size but affects performance. To
get higher performance you can change the compression to CCITT
G3, but then the file size will be larger.
If you intend to manipulate a color image using an image editor, it is
recommended that you use uncompressed TIFF. Uncompressed TIFF
may, however, generate very large files.
Apart from the predefined profiles below we also recommend two
profiles which generate PDF documents. For recommended profiles,
see “Specifying Profiles” on page 48.
