I’m using an Epson 1640 on windows XP Pro and this scanner has Windows
7 drivers available. The scanner hardware doesn’t seem as important
for getting good results as is adjusting the settings. I scan at 400
dots per inch. This improves scanning results considerably. I also
do some test scans on the book I am scanning. I was getting fair but
not my usually excellent results on a book I was scanning today when I
learned that it was printed on post-consumer recycled paper. This
often means the pages are light gray rather than white. I lightened
the contrast and the scanning results were excellent.
Setting a high DPI and fine-tuning the contrast settings of your
software often yields excellent scans for me. This guidance isn’t in
the volunteer manual, but it should be.
