The Compression Tab
The Compression tab allows you to compress your scanned image and choose the
level of compression. Bi-tonal images are normally compressed using CCITT
standard called Group 4 (G4). Color and grayscale images are often compressed
using JPEG technology. Move the JPEG Quality slider to the right or left to
increase or decrease the level of compression. Note the greater the compression
level, the lower image quality. Default is 50%.
Note that the compression depends on your image editing application. If your
image editing application does not support the type of compression format, then
either a warning message will appear or the image quality of the compressed file
will not be acceptable.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Editor Group). This group developed and lent their name
to a file compression standard for color and grayscale images that is widely used by
scanners, and software applications. On Microsoft Windows-based systems, a file
with the extension .jpg has normally been compressed using this standard.
For scanning color or gray images, the following compressions are available:

JPEG
For scanning B&W images, the following compressions are available:

Compression:
To complete your scan at a rated speed, the scanned image is compressed by
