Hi Harry,

Hmmm, I'm not getting that, but rather either a slight increase or a decrease when sending 200 dpi greyscale (at 8-bit).

Is Office 2003 SP3 installed?

Are you scanning from within MS Office Document Imaging/Scanning using one of the Scanner presets or using the scanner
software/setting from your scanner to send to file then opening, or ???

If using a MS Office Scanning preset does the preset have turned on the automatic OCR on scan setting and if you set it to see the
scanner dialog before scanning is the scanner following the preset or using color photo settings?

Are the Option settings set to convert files to color turned on?

Office SP3 was installed about a week ago.
I am using the scanner software to import the file from the scanner.
The Scanner is a FujiXerox DC450, the import program is call Mailbox
Viewer 2. When I scan I choose 200DPI, Greyscale, plus Higher
Compression is selected by default on the program. The Mailbox View 2
has settings which are set accordingly:
Compress Format - Black: MMR
Compress Format - Grey/Colour: the radio button Compress (JPEG) is
selected and the Compress Options is set to "High Compression".

I don't know if it gets used in this process (I lack understanding -
but I don't think so) but the program "Microsoft Office Document
Scanning" has presets and when I open this program the option that
appears to be selected is Greyscale.

Apart from those programs the only other program that seems to have
setting relevent is Microsoft Office Document Imaging.
There are four tabs along the top: Annotation, OCR, Compression, Find,
Other.
OCR is set to "AutoRotate" and "AutoStraighten"
Compression has two settings. The top one "Tiff Colour Compress",
which has a tick box underneath "Perform Lossless Compression" (LZW)"
which is ticked. This setting is greyed out and I cannot change it.
Including the slider underneath it to optimize the JPEG in favor of
"smaller size - better image quality".

Underneath that is MDI compression and I have the slide set to
"smaller size".

Regards,
Harry
