What scanner settings should I use?

Answer: 

 

  • Use a black and white setting, not a color image or grayscale setting
  • Use OCR or Editable Text
  • Do not use a graphic format such as bitmap or jpeg (*.bmp or *.jpeg)
  • Set  the scanner resolution to 300 dots per inch (dpi); the document will lose quality at a lower resolution (i.e., 100 or 200 dpi)
