The superfine mode is obtained by doublestepping the scanner in the fine mode.
In order to get a higher resolution along the scan line you have to use a 
scanner with that  capability.

Tje superfine mode may get standardized along with the new 200x200, 300x300 
and 400x400 ppi resolutions by March 1992.
