I recall it was all a little hit and miss. OK Rod, thanks. Maybe I'll do a little tweeking to the left and to the right some time to see what can be improved. |

jimjung Here is the basic load screenshot when one opens an Epson (Mine is a V200) with black Craftpaper on the lid. (Looks a little messy, I have been scanning antique books for ebay) If you recognise this (when you get your computer up and running) we can go to the next step.

I want to begin this post by saying thank you very much to Steve Tomisek, who inspired me to take a closer look at my scanner. Steve asked what model I was using and then looked it up on-line, and determined that I should be able to get better resolution than 300dpi. I am using an HP Officejet Pro 8625, which is an all-in-one printer/scanner/FAX machine.
I tried using the HP troubleshooting software, but that got me nowhere. I still could not figure out how to access the higher resolutions. So, I did a web search and was able to find a conversation between another user and the HP support staff, and stumbled across the answer.
It turns out that in order to access scanning resolutions higher than 300dpi, all you need to do is change the "source" setting to "scan from glass only" instead of having the document feeder as an option. I don't know if anyone else on TSF is using an HP scanner and had a similar issue, but that's how it's done.
Many, many thanks to Steve for pointing this out, which pushed me to look harder for a solution! Now I can scan up to 1200dpi when needed to show the fine detail on some of my stamps, and I didn't need to get a new scanner.
