That's what you get when you use lossy compression, and it's hardly a problem unique to Xerox scanners. Maybe important documents should be scanned to a higher resolution so you don't have problems like this.
- mikeash 13y agoCould you share with us a list of other scanners that have this problem, so we can avoid them?
- WalterBright 13y agoI tried various compression and density settings on my Fujitsu scanner, and didn't see any problems like those mentioned in the article.
- mikeash 13y agoThanks. I scan a ton of documents with my Fujitsu scanner, so that's particularly relevant to me.
- acdha 13y agoI doubt Xerox would be arrogant enough to try shifting responsibility to the victim like that. Do you reverse engineer every product you use just to confirm that the designer didn't cut corners to make it work differently from every other example of a familiar class of product? It's particularly absurd in this case since it's clearly not easy to learn that lossy compression is being applied or how one would disable it if they wanted their Xerox to work like every other copier/fax they've used.
