The settings that control the file size and the image quality
Introduction
A number of settings control the size of the file and the quality of the image. 
The better the quality of the image, the larger the file size. The settings that 
control the size of the file and the quality of the image are interdependent. The 
definition of one settings influences the options you have for another setting.
This section describes the following:

File format (see ‘File formats for scan to

file formats with op-
timal image quality 
File compression A higher compression factor 
results in a smaller file size.
The highest available com-
pression factor for TIFF files 
is Packbits. 
The highest available com-
pression factor for PDF files 
is Flate.
Note:Group 3  and Group 
4 are the compression 
methods which are best for 
text and vector drawings. If 
you select Group 3  or 
Group 4 to scan a photo, 
this compression method can 
cause the file size to increase 
instead of decrease.
Flate can take longer to 
process.The file compression 
methods available on 
the Océ TCS400 do
