Guidelines for Format
and Compression
In editing or creating a new profile it is necessary to specify the
format and compression techniques that are to be employed. The
table below highlights the significant benefits of each method.
Notes:
Specifying Paper Sizes
The
Paper Sizes
parameter defines the size of the scanned image
and is optionally part of the profile.
Note:
Format Comments
TIFF
For black/white images. Both single- and multipage images are sup-
ported
For black/white images. Both single- and multipage images are sup-
ported. Requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
PCL
Profile used for print destinations - black and white only.
• Compression techniques are distinguished by whether they remove
detail from the image. CCITT encoding is a family of lossless compres-
sion techniques for black/white images, of which CCIT G.4 is the most
efficient compression method.
• Although the generated TIFF files do not contain searchable text, you
can use an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application to con-
vert the bitmap to text that can be edited, indexed, searched or cop-
ied to other files.
• The generated PDF image files do not contain searchable text. You
can use Adobe Capture or the built-in capture function in Adobe
Acrobat to make the text searchable.
A user can override the Paper Size setting used by a profile by choosing
another paper size from the AXIS 7100 control panel at the moment of
scanning.
