- A very large image size
- An image, stored with full colour information
- Macintosh: Low memory dispatching for "PreFlight"
"PreFlight" running under Windows:
Use "BMP" files without data compression.
"PreFlight" running under Macintosh:
Use "BMP" files without data compression
or Macintosh-"PICT" files.
Examine the memory dispatching.

Change the memory dispatching, if necessary:
Minimum Size: about 12000 KB,
Preferred Size: about 20700 KB.
For every operation system:
After scanning, save your picture with 256 colours only.
