Return to Overview

This mode enables you to scan text originals or text/photo originals using a high compression ratio. If you select [Compact] as the PDF file format, it is recommended that you set the original type setting to either 'Text' or 'Text/Photo', depending on the image type. If you select [Compact], [PDF (Compact)] is displayed as the file format on the Scan screen. You can also select [OCR (Text Searchable)].

• If you are scanning your originals with the Compact PDF mode, select any of the following combination of a color mode and resolution:

• Auto (Color/Gray) and 300×300 dpi

• Full Color and 300×300 dpi

• Grayscale and 300×300 dpi

1. Select the desired space and folder.

2. Place your originals → press [Scan].

3. Press [File Format].

4. Select [PDF] → press [Set Details].

If [Set Details] is not displayed, press [Compact] on the File Format screen → proceed to step 6.

5. Press [Compact] → [OK].

6. Press [OK].

If you want to separate document with multiple pages into separate pages and scan them as separate files, set [Divide into Pages] to 'On'.

• If [Compact] is selected for the PDF file format, the resolution is automatically changed to [300 × 300 dpi]. If the color mode is set to [Auto (Color/Black)] or [Black and White], the color mode is automatically changed to [Auto (Color/Gray)] or [Grayscale], respectively. If you want to send the file with the resolution setting and the color mode that you specify, change the PDF file format to anything other than [Compact] or [Trace & Smooth].

• To view a PDF file or to search a text in a PDF file, software that supports the PDF format (such as Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat) is required.

• If you select [Compact], you can also set [OCR (Text Searchable)] at the same time. In that case, [PDF (Compact)] is displayed as the file format on the Scan screen.

7. Press (Start).
