Reference Information

Compact PDF or XPS Files
You can convert original colour/grayscale images scanned at a resolution of 300 dpi to compact (approx. 1/10 original size) PDF or XPS 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 or XPS (Universal Send Advanced Feature Set is 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 or XPS file that is searchable. A searchable PDF or XPS file enables you to quickly search for the necessary information on the PDF or XPS. For details, see "Searchable PDF/XPS/OOXML."
Trace & Smooth PDF (Universal Send Advanced Feature Set is 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, Encrypted PDF, Digital Signatures, and Reader Extensions 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 color 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."

Login Password:
If you are using Windows, 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."
