CONFIGURING THE ONETOUCH BUTTONS 51

The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be reduced in size or quality.

Note: The two other PDF formats—nPDF and sPDF—are for scanning with OCR processing and with the ability to search the scanned text. See the next section, “Text Formats,” and also “Scanning with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text” on page 86 for details.

To select a JPEG or PDF file size:

1.Select JPG or PDF as the page format.

2.Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon. A menu opens.

3.Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images. Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality. Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality. Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.

Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or PDF selected as the Page Format are not affected, so you can set the JPEG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.

4.Click OK or Apply on the OneTouch Properties window.
