Searchable PDF
*Available only when the optional Color Send Searchable PDF Kit-C1 is activated.
A searchable PDF file consists of pages of scanned images that have been put through
OCR processing. The test data is extracted, and is laid over the original images in the form
of invisible text so that a search may be run for a particular segment of the data. A search
in a PDF file requires a PDF browser application (e.g., Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader). Or,
Windows' search function may be used to look for a string of characters. Here again, the
target of transmission must be an e-mail address or a file server. To make use of this function,
PDF (OCR) is specified when selecting the file format on the Transmission screen. A PDF file
that will be generated in response will consist of the following:
- Imaging BlockWith Compact setting: 300 x 300 dpi fixed, CompactNo Compact setting:
scanning resolution, JPEG (colour)/ MMR (black and white binary)
- Supported LanguagesJapanese, Latin 1, Latin 2, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian
(Cyrillic), Greek, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional, Korean
The character codes recognised with OCR are determined by the language selected in user
mode as the display language. Note, however, that no matter which language is selected,
ASCII characters (English) will be recognised by OCR.
