Specifies whether or not to print annotations. If this box is checked, annotations are printed.


Lists formats you can specify for a printed page or document.

Fit to page: Fits the page contents to the page size that you specified in your printer properties.

Actual size: Prints the page contents at the same size as the physical scanned or faxed page. Output that extends beyond the paper size is cropped.

Pixel to pixel: Prints one pixel of output for each pixel of input. For example, if the input resolution is 200 dots per inch (dpi), and the output resolution is 100 dpi, the output will be two times as wide and two times as long as the input. Printing that extends beyond the page size is cropped.

Page options follow

File Type tab


Specifies the standard file format for color, grayscale, and black and white images. You can display, edit, and annotate TIFF files, and you can compress them to save disk storage space.


Specifies the standard file format for bitmap graphics files. You can display, edit, and annotate BMP files; you cannot compress them.


Page options/Color tab

Specifies a palette that contains 256 colors. You cannot compress files of this color type.


Specifies a palette that contains up to 16 million colors. Displaying files of this color type to full effect depends on the display hardware you have.


Page options/Compression tab


Specifies a method of reducing data so your document uses less disk storage space. The available compression methods depend on the file type and color you specify for the document. Do not change the default unless you have special compression requirements.

Displays the available compression options for the compression method you specify.


Compresses black and white image data in reverse bit order. Do not change the default unless you have special requirements for data export.


Specifies the clarity of your document. The higher the resolution, the higher the display quality of the document. High resolution with low compression results in the best quality image, but also the largest file size.


Specifies the clarity of your document. The higher the resolution, the higher the display quality of the document. High resolution with low compression results in the best quality image, but also the largest file size.


Specifies the relative file size of your document. The higher the compression, the less disk space the file occupies. High compression with low resolution results in the smallest size file, but also the most degraded image display.

For more help on an item, click [image] at the top of the dialog box, and then click the item.


Specifies compression of scanned documents without loss of data.


Specifies optimal file compression combined with optimal image clarity.

Compression determines the relative file size of your document. The higher the compression, the less disk space the file occupies. High compression may result in discarded non-recoverable data, low image resolution, and degraded document display.


Specifies high compression for scanned documents.

Compression determines the relative file size of your document. The higher the compression, the less disk space the file occupies. High compression may result in discarded non-recoverable data, low image resolution, and degraded document display.


Custom settings let you specify detailed scan preferences, such as compression, bit order, and resolution, for different color-type documents.
