Impossible to reduce scan file size below 3MB

[Paul-12TA]

I found a big difference just choosing black and white or grey scale over auto detect or colour. Also it scans quicker too. It is worth trying.

Bumping this in the remote hope that someone can help me with this...

No idea why the images aren't displaying

So these are the only options I can play with using the Xerox Print & Scan Experience app on my desktop:

These settings produce the following result (see below)

As you can see, the text is blurry and of a poor resolution

Hi,

Try this:

On the machine EWS login as admin and go to Apps>Scan to>General Settings and Policies and enable MRC High Compression.

My advice is to consider forcing the scan colour to be Black and White and not default of 'Auto' where some little irrelevant colour in the document will force it into full colour mode. Black and white scans are much quicker and the files are much smaller too. Try it and report back. Paul

Thanks for replying.

My computer has the Windows Fax & Scan programme, but that's not recognising the Xerox scanner (Workstation 6515).

I struggle to see what other options I have with Xerox Print & Scan Experience. Not only is the file size enormous, but the scan quality is very poor (blurred, indistinguishable characters - even when I increase the resolution settings to 400 x 400).

I absolutely must be missing something important here, as surely this Xerox product is more than capable of producing clear scans without devouring all known disk space.

Tim,

Your device has Scan to Email / Scan to File capability. You should explore using those options.  On a VersaLink C405 I scanned a 6 page B/W test document at 200 dpi to PDF. 

Xerox Print and Scan Experience - 1.7mb

Scan to Email - 97 kb

I hope this helps.
