Limited Color PDF
When you convert originals into a compact PDF, you can reduce the file size by scanning originals with fewer colors at a lower resolution.
If you select [Limited Color] as the PDF file format, [Compact] is automatically set to 'On'. [Limited Color] cannot be set by itself.

This mode is only available for storing files in the memory media. PDF (Limited Color) is only valid with the following settings: Select Color: Auto (Color/Gray), Full Color, or Grayscale Resolution: 300 x 300 dpi Copy Ratio: 100% or Auto |
