You can scan large quantities of color documents in high compression mode and save them as a compact PDF file. To scan color documents in high compression mode, perform the following steps to change the setting. In [Color high compression] mode, different compression rates are applied to characters and backgrounds. Therefore, the file size of a document with mostly text characters is reduced, while the quality of the characters is kept high. However, high compression is applied to photographs and figures since they are regarded as backgrounds, resulting in deteriorated image data. For this reason, this mode is not appropriate for scanning photographs, images and such. For details about the Right-Click Menu, refer to "Right-Click Menu" (page 58). In the [Color mode] drop-down list in the [Scanning] tab, select [Color high compression]. For details about how to load documents, refer to "How to Load Documents" (page 30). 205 Using the ScanSnap in Various Ways (for Windows Users) ■ Deleting Blank Pages from the Scanned Image The ScanSnap can detect and automatically delete blank pages from a scanned image. For example, when you scan a mixed batch of double-sided and single-sided documents in duplex mode, the images are generated without the back sides of the single-sided documents (blank pages). To delete blank pages, perform the following steps to change the setting. - Almost blank documents with only a few characters - Documents of only one color (including black) and without any patterns, lines or characters When you scan such documents, clear the [Allow automatic blank page removal] check box. Also make sure to check the image data for accidentally deleted pages when discarding the scanned document. For details about the Right-Click Menu, refer to "Right-Click Menu" (page 58). For details about how to load documents, refer to "How to Load Documents" (page 30). 207 Using the ScanSnap in Various Ways (for Windows Users) ■ Correcting Skewed Character Strings When documents with skewed character strings are scanned, the ScanSnap is able to detect the skewed character strings and correct them. To correct skewed character strings, change the settings in the following procedure. Since this option is performed assuming that the document contains a certain amount of text, character strings may be adjusted at a wrong angle when scanning the following types of documents. In that case, clear the [Correct skewed character strings automatically] check box: - Documents on which pitches between lines or characters are extremely narrow, or characters are overlapped - Documents with many outlined or decorated characters - Documents with many photographs or figures and few characters - Documents with characters on a patterned background e. Characters overlapping illustrations and diagrams - Documents with characters printed in various directions such as drawings - Documents with long diagonal lines - Documents including handwritten characters.
