.
In [Color high compression] mode, characters and background on the
document are compressed separately, and thus, the file size of the document
that mostly contains text characters becomes smaller while the quality of the
characters is kept high. However, this mode is not appropriate for scanning
photographs or figures because these graphical materials are recognized as
background and compressed as such, causing degradation in images. If this
setting is specified, the contrast of the image may become higher.
