Creating Scanned Images Depending on Intended Use (for Windows Users) Scanning Color Documents in High Compression The ScanSnap can save image data of color documents in high compression mode. You can scan large quantities of color documents in high compression mode and save them as a compact PDF file. To scan color documents in high compression mode, perform the following steps to change the setting. ATTENTION In [Color high compression] mode, different compression rates are applied to characters and backgrounds. Therefore, the file size of a document with mostly text characters is reduced, while the quality of the characters is kept high. However, high compression is applied to photographs and figures since they are regarded as backgrounds, resulting in deteriorated image data. For this reason, this mode is not appropriate for scanning color documents (e.g. photographs). 1. Select [Scan Button Settings] from the Right-Click Menu. For details about the Right-Click Menu, refer to "Right-Click Menu (Windows)" (page 37). D The ScanSnap setup dialog box appears. 2. In the [Color mode] drop-down list in the [Scanning] tab, select [Color high compression]. 3. Click the [OK] button to close the ScanSnap setup dialog box. 226
