*"Color high compression" is effective in "Best quality" or "Excellent quality" mode.

*For more efficient use, adjust Compression rate and/or select "Color high compression" mode as follows:

-Setting Compression rate (1 to 5) reduces the file size when scanning documents such as photographs or figures.

-Selecting "Color high compression" reduces the file size even more when scanning documents including many characters (at Best/Excellent).
