Thanks for your answer.  You can get 400 DPI with the Arkenstone by
using the Panasonic 505 or 506 scanners, but the HP Scan Jet Plus,
while rated at 600 DPI actually only does 300 DPI as you mention in
your message.  This is something that I hope arkenstone will do
soon is to fully use the capabilities of that scanner.

You are also correct that a document placed on the scanner upside
down does take longer to scan, but I doubt it takes as long as
redoing the entire scan 3 or four times till you get it placed on
the sdcanner in the proper direction.  In addition I have already
ran into things, mainly magazines and print-outs that were too wide
to place them on the scanner one particular way and be able to scan
the entire page.
