PDF Scan Kit
The PDF Scan Kit is an optional accessory for the Xerox 4112/
4127 Copier/Printer (C/P). The PDF Scan Kit consists of hardware
(additional memory) and software (licensing) that expands the
capabilities of the standard scanning features, such as: Scan to
PC, E-mail scanning, and Network Scanning.
KEY POINT: The Color Scan Kit must also be enabled in order to
use the PDF Scan Kit. The Color Scan Kit combined with the PDF
Scan Kit allows you to scan and create high compression and/or
text searchable PDFs in full color.

PDF Scan Kit benefits
The standard Xerox 4112/4127 C/P built-in Scan feature allows
you to scan to mailbox, email, FTP/SMB, and other locations with
standard scan settings. These standard scan settings enable high
resolution scanning, which in turn creates a larger PDF file size.
You can use lower resolution scans to minimize file size, but the
scan quality can be impacted. The PDF Scan Kit enables more
advanced compression technologies, such as MRC, JBIG2, MMR
and MH that allow you to create compressed, high-quality files.
The PDF Scan Kit includes the following features, which are
described in detail later in this section:
• MRC High Compression scanning
• Searchable Text
The PDF Scan Kit can be used with the following services: Scan
to PC, Email and Network Scanning. An example of using each
service with the PDF Scan Kit is presented later in this document.
Compression Scanning
Large files take up more storage space and take more time to
transmit than compressed PDF files. There are numerous benefits
to compressing files to PDF, but some of the most important
benefits are:
• Compressed PDFs can be sent up to 10x faster than files that
are not compressed.
• Compressed PDF files take up much less storage space on
your system.
• When transferring compressed PDF files over the Internet or
Intranet, you use less bandwidth.
