Effect on the file size
(see 'File formats for scan to
file' on page 91)
A higher compression factor
results in a smaller file size.
The highest available com-
pression factor for 'TIFF' files
is 'Packbits'.
The highest available com-
pression factor for 'PDF' files
is 'Flate'.
'Group 3 ' and 'Group
Note:
4' are the compression
methods which are best for
text and vector drawings. If
you select 'Group 3 ' or
'Group 4' to scan a photo,
this compression method can
cause the file size to increase
instead of decrease.
'Flate' can take longer to
process.
Effect on the image
quality
'TIFF' and 'PDF' are
file formats with op-
timal image quality
The file compression
methods available on
the Océ TCS400 do
not control the quali-
ty of the image.
