Note:

This setting is used only when the scanner is transferring data to the Front Office Scanning client using native transfer mode (i.e., the NativeMode setting in the ScanOptions element of the configuration file is set to true). Like the NativeMode setting it is dependent on, it can be applied globally (i.e., to all documents scanned via the Front Office Scanning client) or at the Document Type level. The following information applies to setting these settings globally; for more information on specifying this setting at the Document Type level, see Configuring Scanning Options at the Document Type Level.

When the scanner is transferring data to the Front Office Scanning client in native transfer mode, the data is compressed by the scanner by default.

To configure the scanner to send uncompressed data to the Front Office Scanning client:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the ScanOptions element.
  2. Within the ScanOptions element, locate the NativeMode setting and ensure that it is set to true.
  3. Within the ScanOptions element, locate the HardwareCompress setting. If this value is not present, add it to the ScanOptions element.
  4. Set the HardwareCompress setting to false. For example:
    HardwareCompress="false"
    Tip:

    For more information on the Front Office Scanning configuration file's ScanOptions element and its settings, including the NativeMode and HardwareCompress settings, see The ScanOptions Element.

  5. Save and close the configuration file.
    Note:

    If the HardwareCompress setting is set to true, but the scanner is not capable of compressing data, then this setting is ignored.

To configure the Front Office Scanning client to receive compressed data from the scanner, set the HardwareCompress setting to false (i.e., HardwareCompress="False").
