Method for file compression in a multi-function printer and the multi-function printer thereof

A Multi-Function printer (MFP) for compressing files in the MFP, the MFP comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores processor-executable instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
• receive one or more files for scanning;
• determine size of the one or more files;
• determine whether the size of the one or more files is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
• and
• after scanning the one or more files, compress the one or more files using a lossless compression technique in response to determining that the size of the one or more files is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instruction stored thereon that when processed by at least one processor causes a Multi-Function printer (MFP) to perform a method comprising:

• receiving one or more files for scanning;
• determining size of the one or more files;
• determining whether the size of the one or more files is greater than or equal to a threshold value;
• and
• after scanning the one or more files, compressing the one or more files using a lossless compression technique in response to determining that the size of the one or more files is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
