	<title>Setting the Image Quality</title>

    <p>
    You can adjust the image quality that is used when the scan is converted to a file by changing this setting in the preferences dialog.
    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.
    See the <link href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression">Lossy compression Wikipedia page</link> for more information.
