Scanner will not save large scan over 300 pages

Change the scan resolution to 200 dots per inch (200 dpi). If 300 it tajes a few seconds. If 1200 dpi, it may take really long.

Here you will find a product to compress your PDF documents http://www.systoolsgroup.com/pdf-toolbox/compress-pdf-files.html

Two step process, scan and save the image, then print and select landscape

I have many years repairing Canon scanners here is what I think may be wrong with yours.

Before I tell you the really bad news. Make sure you didn't install any new programs that may conflict with your scanning software. Another words an additional program that can do scanning some times the drivers for both programs don't play nice with each other. If you did then remove the last one you installed and reinstall the one you always have used in the past. Also a couple of suggestions first lower your dpi setting in your software to 200 or 300 dpi and save it at that. Then reboot (restart) your computer and try to scan something at that setting. If after you scan at that setting you get a all white page (blank page) then the bad news is the photo lens in your scanner is defective. I recently purchased a Canon Pixmar scanner/printer at walmart for under $60.00 I am saying this to you because it will be much cheaper to purchase a new scanner then to spend good money repairing the one you currently have now.

I hope this helps you out and if it did please leave me some feedback.

Uncompressed TIFF files are large in size. If you want Black & white and also small size save in TIFF G4 format. JPG files are small, but only color and grey files can be stored in JPG format.

You mean the file is missing? This cant happen! Either it must be saved a a TIFF/JPG file or stored elsewhere. Search on the basis of time of scanning. Pls chk the location where the software is directing the computer to save the files.

Hello,

You have to save your scan to PDF file type. after the system finished saving the file it will ask you again want to scan another pages. replace the page in the scanner and then click to continue.

the saving of file will on the next page of the first file name.

you're own your way.

JPEG gives small size outputs as compare uncompressed TIFF. This is probabbly the best for color. Try reducing the resolution to 150-300 dpi.

I have an old X7170 and have the same problem when using the doc feeder. I scan using the flatbed the size is much much smaller.

To upload scanned images to eBay, simply scan your your images first and save them as .jpg files.

Remember where you have saved them,
eg My Documents/ebayimages.
Make sure the files are not too large. If they are, you may have to resize them. Really no more than 75kB and less if you have a lot to upload for one listing. If the files are too large they will take too long to load for users with a slow internet connection.

Next. go to eBay, create your listing and click upload images. A window will open which will allow you to navigate to where you have saved your image. You can also edit the brightness and sharpness of you images in eBay.

Hope this helps...
