Hello,<br>
<p>
I am a newbie to this mailing list and wonder whether anyone could<br>
answer a few questions.<br>
<p>
1) I have an Epsom perfection 1200S scanner, which uses the SCSI card supplied,<br>
which is an Adaptec 2903B, which uses the AIC-7850 PCI SCSI controller driver.<br>
Is anyone developing any software for this SCSI card and/or scanner?<br>
<p>
2) If no one is developing anything at present, what is involved in<br>
developing the drivers?<br>
<p>
3) I want to scan in black and white images containing text and pictures,<br>
such as found in newspapers, books, etc. And I want to be able to print<br>
these images to my black &amp; printer, a HP 5MP (i.e. 600 dpi postscript<br>
printer). I have tried various options in scanning without entirely good<br>
results. The image is stored by default as JPEG with the software supplied<br>
by Epsom (which runs under windows-95). The software allows the following<br>
options:<br>
1 bit; 8 bit grey-scale; 24 bit colour<br>
1200dpi, 600dpi, 400dpi, etc. (plus interpolated of 9600dpi and 7800dpi)<br>
The best results are obtained by scanning at higher resolutions using 8<br>
bit grey-scale. However, these result in very large files, and postscript<br>
files that are too large for the printer.<br>
How do I obtain the best results without having to upgrade my computer<br>
and printer with gigabytes of memory?<br>
<p>
Regards<br>
Harry<br>
<p>
