I want to send a scanned copy of a document in an e-mail and the file size is HUGE! i was wondering the pixle X pixle size of a page? Thanks..

 

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I have scanned documents that are 8.5 x 11 and some come out at 816 x 1056 pixels and the some are much larger. I do not seem to have two documents that end up the same scanned size, even though they are both 8.5 x 11 on paper. Pixels per inch vary, I usually just shrink them enough to be able to read and email.

 

PERFECT ! Worked great ...Thanks ..

 

Sounds like you already got it taken care of ROUSHFAN-1, but what I usually do is scan the image in and then convert it JPEG. Cuts the file size down to almost nothing.

 

GIFs are smaller, they use less colors

 

Yep. jpg for picture, gif fo graphics and some documents. A lot of docs use .pdf but that need special software.

As far as size I use 1024x768 but the size mentioned above wil work, it's not much bigger. 800x600 works too if you want to get the size down more. Smaller you go the harder it is to read, that's the major reason for pdf.

 

You are very correct! I use JPEG mainly because I could never get the GIFs right. They always come out with red and blue dots on my computer for some reason??
