3.3 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.

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.
