+
+ <p>
+ You can adjust the image quality that is used when the scan is converted to a file by changing this setting in the <guiseq><gui>Document</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> menu.
+ Using a low quality will result in a small file size but may show some blurring or blockiness in the image.
+ A high quality will keep all the scanned information but require a larger file size.
