Data Compression Ratio

You can set the compression ratio for color scanned data. A high compression ratio reduces the data size, but results in low quality images. On the contrary, a low compression ratio increases the data size, but results in high quality images.


Remark
  • This mode is available only if the optional Color Universal Send Kit is activated.
  • If [PDF (Compact)], [PDF (Trace)], or [XPS (Compact)] is selected as the file format, set [Data Compression Ratio] to 'Normal' or 'Low Ratio' in TX Settings under <Common Settings> in Communications Settings (from the Additional Functions screen). If [Data Compression Ratio] is set to 'High Ratio', the images that are output may be of a low quality even if 'Image Priority' is selected in Image Level for High Compression in TX Settings under <Common Settings> in Communications Settings (from the Additional Functions screen).
  • If the optional fax board is installed and you are sending documents by fax, this setting is disabled.

  1. Press (Additional Functions) → [Communications Settings] → [TX Settings] under <Common Settings> → [Data Compression Ratio].
  1. Select [High Ratio], [Normal], or [Low Ratio] → press [OK].

Details of each item are shown below.

[High Ratio]: The data size is small, but the image quality is low.
[Normal]: The data size and image quality are in between those of [High Ratio] and [Low Ratio].
