Reference Information
Compact PDF Files
You can convert original colour/grayscale images scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi to compact (approx. 1/10 original size) PDF files. This mode eliminates the issue of the large file size of digitized documents, reducing colour documents to the size of black-and-white documents. This also enables you to reduce the load on the network and servers. For details, see "Compact PDF or XPS."
Searchable PDF (Universal Send Advanced Feature Set required)
This mode enables you to perform OCR (optical character recognition) to extract data that can be recognized as text from the scanned image, and add it as a transparent layer of text to create a PDF file that is searchable. A searchable PDF file enables you to quickly search for the necessary information on the PDF. For details, see "Searchable PDF/XPS."
Trace & Smooth PDF (Universal Send Advanced Feature Set required)
This mode enables you to divide and extract the text, line drawings, and background of a scanned image, and convert the text and line drawings to scalable outline data to be placed on the background when creating a PDF file.
Enhanced text quality
Outlining the text edges eliminates "jagginess" even when the text is enlarged, enhancing the overall quality of the text in the PDF.
Practical application of data
The outlined data on the PDF can be extracted and used in Adobe Illustrator.
|
NOTE
|
|
The Trace & Smooth PDF mode can be used with the Searchable PDF and Encrypted PDF modes.
Trace & Smooth PDF is linked with Compact PDF. Thus, if you select the Trace & Smooth PDF mode, Compact PDF is automatically set and the PDF file size is reduced.
If you select Trace & Smooth for the PDF file format, the resolution must be set to 300 dpi, and colour or grayscale must be specified. For details, see "Trace & Smooth Settings."

Changing the Default Settings
By storing the specified send settings as the default settings, you can recall the settings without specifying the settings again. For details, see "Generate File."
Troubleshooting
If You Cannot Use SMB to Communicate with Windows XP
If you cannot use SMB to communicate with Windows XP, follow the procedures below.
Firewall:
Right-click [My Network Places] → select [Properties] → right-click [Local Area Connection] → select [Properties] → click the [Advanced] tab →click [Settings] → click the [General] tab → click [Off] → [OK].
Shared Simple File Settings:
Right-click the shared folder → select [Properties] →click the [Sharing] tab → select [Allow network users to change my files] → click [Apply].
Properties of the Shared Folder:
Right-click the shared folder → select [Properties] → click the [General] tab → deselect [Read-only] → [Apply].
Access Privilege of the Shared Folder ([Sharing] Sheet):
Right-click the shared folder → select [Properties] → click the [Sharing] tab → select [Permissions] → [Apply].
Access Privilege of the Shared Folder ([Security] Sheet):
Right-click the shared folder → select [Properties] → click [Security] tab → select [Allow] for <Modify> → [Apply].
Security Policy:
Click [Start] → [Control Panel] → [Administrative Tools] → [Local Security Policy] → [Local Policies] → [Security Options] → [Microsoft network server: Digitally sign communications (always)] → [Disabled] → [Apply] → restart Windows.
Login Password:
If you are using Windows XP, you can login to the computer using a local account without a password set. However, the following issues may arise:
If <Check the login destination, user name, and password> is displayed, you cannot set the login/destination from the machine.
You can set the login/destination from the machine, but you cannot use the Push Scan function.
The above issues related to accounts with no specified password arise because authentication was not performed at the time the folder on the network was accessed.
From a security perspective, and to avoid the above issues, login using an account with a password.
Logging In an Active Directory Environment:
When a computer that one or more users log on to is restricted by the system administrator in an Active Directory environment, follow the procedure below to register the name of the computer.
Open the user account properties dialog box. Click [Logon To] to open the [Logon Workstations] dialog box → set the computer name in the user account properties dialog box to "CANON + the last 8 digits of the MAC address of the computer + 00". For example, if the MAC address of the computer you are using is "00:00:11:22:33:44", set "CANON1122334400".
