Compact PDF or XPS

This mode enables you to send files containing text originals or text/photo originals using a higher compression ratio than normal PDF or XPS files. If you select [Compact], it is recommended that you set the original type setting to either 'Text' or 'Text/Photo', depending on the image type. You can also set [OCR (Text Searchable)].

IMPORTANT
PDF (Compact) or XPS (Compact) is only valid with the following settings: Select Color: Auto (Color/Gray), Full Color, Grayscale Resolution: 300x300 dpi Copy Ratio: 100% or Auto

NOTE
If the file format is PDF, you can reduce the file size by using [Limited Color] function. For more information, see "Limited Color PDF."

Press

(Main Menu) → [Scan and Send] → specify the destination → press the file format button.

Select [PDF] or [XPS] → press [Compact].

Press [OK].

If you want to separate multiple images and send them as separate files, each of which consists of only one page, set [Divide into Pages] to 'On'. If you want to scan the images as a single file, turn the setting 'Off'.

IMPORTANT
If you select [Compact] for PDF or XPS file format, the color mode is changed from [Auto (Color/B&W)] and [Black & White] to [Auto (Color/Gray)] and [Grayscale]. If you want to scan the document with the color mode that you specify, change the PDF file format to anything other than [Compact] and [Trace & Smooth], and change the XPS file format to anything other than [Compact]. If PDF (Trace & Smooth), PDF (Compact), or XPS (Compact) is registered as the standard file format and you are sending documents by I-fax, a message prompting you to change the file format may appear. In this case, change the file format to anything other than PDF (Trace & Smooth), PDF (Compact), or XPS (Compact). For more information on registering/changing the standard mode, see [Change Default Settings]. (See "Changing the Default Settings for Send.")
