Data Compression
Choose the data compression technique for export based on the type of images in the plot file.
Color Images
♦ None exports the job without any data compression.
♦ JPEG High to Low exports the job using a lossy compression scheme that discards
extra data not essential to the image. A higher level of compression results in lower
image quality; a lower level of compression results in better image quality. JPEG is
widely used on the Internet.
♦ LZW exports a job using the lossless compression technique used in creating and
reading GIF, TIF, PS and PDF files. LZW is a good choice for color images.
Monochrome Images
♦ None exports the job without any data compression.
♦ CCITT Group 3 exports the job using a data compression technique used to send data
over modem and fax lines.
♦ CCITT Group 4 exports the job using a data compression technique used to send data
over digital and regular telephone lines.
♦ Run-Length Encoding (RLE) exports the job using a data compression technique that
works best for simple black and white graphics.
Graphics and Text
♦ None exports the job without any data compression.
♦ LZW exports a job using the lossless compression technique used in creating and
reading GIF, TIF, PS and PDF files. LZW is a good choice for color images.
ASCII Encoding
Turn on to export the job using ASCII Encoding.
