Setting The Compression - Visioneer PAPERPORT 5.0 SOFTWARE FOR MACINTOSH User Manual

TIP: If you do not use the automatic options to correct these
problems before scanning, use the Straighten Page command or the
Straighten Page tool, and the Trim Page command to correct these
problems after scanning. For more information, see Chapter 6, "Fine-
Tuning Images."
To straighten pages and remove black edges when you scan:
1. From the Visioneer menu, choose Scan Settings. The Scan Settings
dialog box appears.
2. From the Target Application pop-up menu, choose the application
for which you want to set options. Settings for the application
appear.
3. Click the Edit button. The Settings For dialog box appears.
It contains the Straighten Image and Trim Image checkboxes.
4. Select the checkboxes that you want.
5. Click OK. The Scan Settings dialog box appears.
6. Click OK to save the settings.
TIP: If you scan an item with black edges, the Trim Image option
produces poor results. The PaperPort software looks for a white edge
when performing this operation.

ETTING THE OMPRESSION
The compression of a gray-scale or color item affects the quality and size
of a saved file. The default selection is Good, a setting that is fine-tuned
for the PaperPort software. If you have limited disk space or require a
higher quality scanned image, you can adjust the compression. If you
change the compression and then open and save the item again, you may
increase the file size or change the quality of an image.
NOTE: You usually do not need to change the compression setting.
