Note:

The following setting 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 this setting globally; for more information on specifying this setting at the Document Type level, see Configuring General Document Options at the Document Type Level.

You can specify the number of bits per pixel for each color plane when documents are scanned into the Front Office Scanning client. Potential values for this settings are 1, 4, and 8.

Tip:

The higher the bitdepth setting, the more accurate the images will be. Be aware, however, that the file sizes will also be larger.

To specify the number of bits used per pixel for a scanned image:

  1. In the Front Office Scanning configuration file, locate the ScanOptions element.
  2. Within the ScanOptions element, locate the BitDepth setting.
  3. Set the BitDepth setting to the number of bits to be used for each pixel of the scanned image (1, 4, or 8). For example:
    BitDepth="8"
    Tip:

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

  4. Save and close the configuration file.
