  1. Windows Fax and Scan Sizing


    Hello. I'm scanning a playing card, so pretty small size. I know how to use WF&S scan very well, but I was wondering whether I'm getting quality loss when I Preview the scan, then resize using the Four-Point Markers, i.e. I've got a huge white space around the card scan, so I move the borders inward to get rid of all the empty space. I'm planning on printing them out on regular paper at their original size so a single sheet of paper will probably have at least 10 of them. Am I doing anything wrong that would result in lossy digital stills?

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Scan App - PDF File Sizes Too Large

    Hi Teja,

    There are several reasons why the scanned file as PDF gets too large. Here are the most common causes:

    • Dot Per Inch (DPI) - Most scanners will use 300 DPI for scanning images, which is the minimum DPI for the images that were printed after scanning. However, 72 DPI should be already enough for a PDF that is for screen reading.
    • Saving the document as colored - Use black and white instead of color when scanning images to lessen file size. Make sure that any color settings such as
      Color Depth are also decreased.
    If the suggestions have been tried but the PDF file size is still too large, the next option is to check the PDF software that is performing the conversion itself.

    Let us know if you were able to lessen the PDF file sizes using the suggestions above or if you need further assistance.

    scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    Let us know how that turned out for you.
