HI Isaac; Well I forgot to mention in my last msg to you that
the want add is a newspapper and anyone will tell you that to
expect the scanner to read a newspapper is asking too much.
Some day it will do a half decent job and other days it will be
unuseable.
this is because the papper and the print are of such poor
quality.They are ment to be used once and thrown away so there
is no effort to use decent papper or worry about the quality of
the print.
There is not much you can do about that really . If there are
certain sections your interested in you might try xeroxing them
and maybe making the copy darker or lighter or something like
that.
