   Most scanners I've looked at are 300 DPI.  The primary
   uses for the scanner include:

        1 - OCR
        2 - Graphics
        3 - Pictures with gray scales

The HP ScanJet is not just a 300dpi scanner.  It can scan at any
resolution from 38 to 600 dpi.  Horizontal and vertical are sparately
settable.  It will also scan greyscale 4 bits deep or do dithering in
the scanner (four algorithms).  We'e been using it with Omnipage on
the Mac, and the whole system is pretty impressive.
