1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

To save scanned images in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat must be installed on your PC. Adobe Acrobat can be installed from the provided Adobe Acrobat CD-ROM.

There are 2 ways for saving scanned images in PDF format.

1.Using ScandAll 21

This method is recommended for color or grayscale scanning and when smaller PDF file size is required. The benefits are:

Reduced PDF data size

Simplified method for creating PDF files with no troublesome operations

2.Using Adobe Acrobat

This method is recommended for faster creation of PDF files and for black and white scanning.

The benefits are:

Quick creation of PDF files with the original scan resolution

Flexibile creation of PDF files by changing the PDF compression rates

Grayscale or color scanning creates larger file sizes than black and white scanning.

If the file size is very large, you can reduce the file size by configuring the properties of Acrobat Distiller before saving scanned images.

For details, please refer to the hints.

ATTENTION

Notes for using Adobe Acrobat

Acrobat's default settings overrides the previous settings for "Resolution", "Scan Type" and "Image Mode".

The following functions cannot be used:

￿❍ "256 Color" or "8 Color"

￿❍ "Rotation Degree" selection when "End of Page Detection" is selected ￿❍ Long Page Scanning

When scanning a paper document and converting the image to PDF using Acrobat, unexpected images may be output when:

1.Setting "Edge Shadow Removal" in Acrobat, and setting "Digital Endorser" or "Black Background" options in the TWAIN driver at the same time. Letter strings embedded in the image or the background may be missed.

Solution 1: Set "Edge shadow removal" to "OFF" or set any option other than "Adaptive" for "Color/Grayscale" and/or "Monochrome" under "Compression" by selecting [File] - [Create PDF] - [From Scannerc] - [Image Settingsc] in Acrobat.

Solution 2: Adjust the scanning density in the TWAIN driver.

2.Setting "Adaptive" for "Color/Grayscale" and/or "Monochrome" under "Compression" in Acrobat and scanning in a resolution lower than the resolution recommended for Acrobat.

Solution: Set OPTION to something other than "Adaptive" under "Compression."

3.Scanning a document longer than the double letter (11x17) or A3 size, when setting "Overscan" in the TWAIN driver, the scan may fail.

Solution: When scanning a double letter (11x17) or A3 size of document, do not set "Overscan" in

TWAIN driver.
