    Scanning question - file type (HP Officejet J6480 All-in-one)

    Hi there,

    I just purchased an HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One printer/scanner/copier/fax for work.

    I have been trying to set up the type of file type and size for the scanned images. Now...I know .tiff files are usually huge, but I have to scan into that file type for the type of images I have to upload for work. My question is this -- anyone know how I can make the SIZE smaller? I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right.

    For example, I'm comparing the size of a document I scanned with my old scanner (another HP all-in-on) to this one. Same (supposedly) settings -- 200 DPI, grayscale output, .tiff compressed. In my old printer, this particular document saved in around 750 Kb....now, with the exact same settings (at least I've tried to make them the same), it's saving as 3 MB. HOW and WHERE can I fix this? I've tried under the scanner software settings....I've looked everywhere I can think of but it's still saving larger. What can I do?

    I hope someone can decipher this. Sorry for my ineptness.

    this is more of a usage problem rather than a repair problem. .tiff files are HUGE. HP's online troubleshooting might be able to help you a little more with this one.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

      Thanks - I did try HP's site but that was useless. Maybe I'm just not searching for it correctly.

      Anyways, I really appreciate your input!
