6.9 Setting the Scan Options

When PDF format is selected, select whether or not to use [High Compression for Color PDF] mode. When [High Compression for Color PDF] is selected, characters and backgrounds on the document are compressed separately. In order to do this, the file size of the document that mostly consists of text characters becomes smaller while keeping the quality of the characters as they are.

However, note the following:

zPhotographs or pictures are recognized as background and compressed at a high rate, causing degradation in the scanned image.

zThus, this mode is not appropriate for scanning photographs or other graphical materials.

zThe contrast of the image may become higher.
