Scanner Settings
Last Updated: December 1, 2015
New scanners today are reasonably
priced and even easier to use than ones of 5 years ago. The results
however, are not as easy as simply scanning the documents and
you're done. Some
minor adjustments are necessary for an optimal scan. Take
some time, read through the manual and be the expert!
The most efficient and smallest
electronic documents (.PDF) are those that have never been scanned
in the first place.
Suggestions:
Create your documents in Word, WordPerfect or other
application and save/print directly to .PDF when possible. Scan your documents in black
and white only. Scan to .PDF, it will optimize and compress the image
on its own. Scan at 300 dpi (Dots per Inch) or less. The smaller the file the better for storage, faster
uploads and less internet traffic .
What
not to do:
Don't print the entire document, sign and rescan everything. Don't scan documents for CM/ECF in color, ever! Don't scan documents in Grey scale, it’s the same as
color. Don't use high resolution, it makes the files larger,
for text minimal is best.
