[sane-devel] Problems about Lineart mode

[Rodolfo Medina]

I scan a document with:

 $ scanimage --mode Lineart --resolution 150 -x 215 -y 297 > document

, so obtaining a fine image about 250Kb big. But, the problem is that MS
Windows can't apparently see the file, and I need to send it to other people
non Linux users. On the other hand, if I omit the `--mode Lineart' option the
file comes up too big: 6Mb or so.

Can anyone suggest a way to aquire a document so that the resultant file is:
1) readable by MS Windows;
2) as small as some 200Kb?

Thanks for any help,
Rodolfo
