Why is my scanner (epson PX710) now scanning the same sheet of paper at 20 mb now where as before it was 107kb for a pdf scan before Maverick?

Proir to downloading Mavericks my Epson PX 710 printer/scanner would scan a sheet of paper with typed numbers and figures on and file in my docs box at about 107kb each and every week now the same sheets are coming out at 20+mb each sheet. I have downloaded the new epson download changed my printer in the system preference and it's still crap! (excuse my langague but frustration is getting  to me)

Check the scan settings in your software, whatever scanning software you are using.  It sounds like you are scanning at a much higher resolution than before.   Check your scan resolution.  Files will be much larger if the scan is done at 600 ppi than at 72 ppi.
Some scanners have special settings called Text, Line Art, Magazine, B&W Photo, Color Photo, etc.   The Text & Line Art scans are always much smaller than the other selections.  Color Photo will always yield the largest files.
