The Compression Tab
The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned
image and choose the level of compression. Bi-tonal images are
normally compressed using CCITT standard called Group 4 (G4).
Color and grayscale images are often compressed using JPEG
technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to
increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the greater
the compression level, the lower image quality. Default is 50%.
Note that the compression depends on your image editing
application. If your image editing application does not support
the type of compression format, then either a warning message
will appear or the image quality of the compressed file will not
be acceptable.
