This article describes a few ways to reduce the size of your attachment if you encounter issues while scanning to fax, email, or cloud storage.
Here are the current attachment size limitations when scanning:
- 100 mb is the scan to email attachment limit.
- 200 mb is the scan to OneDrive or Google Drive attachment limit.
Ways to reduce your attachment size:
- Use the regular scan to email option (rather than scan to email OCR) when optical character recognition isn't needed. Use of the OCR option typically adds a small amount to the document size as it make the format readable by OCR programs.
- Try reducing the scan resolution to 200 DPI (down from the 300 DPI default). 200 DPI may provide satisfactory results in a smaller attachment.
- Color scans create larger attachments so only use this option when needed.
