- It seems aimed more at hand scanners, but might work with the
- flatbeds. I intend to ask them about that when I send in my
- warranty card. I called Sharp for info on their JX-320 and should
- hear from them soon.
-
- In the meantime, I think I need to enlarge my FAX.iff
- files/pictures so OCR can cope with the print size. How do I go
- about doing this? Is it possible? I have ADPro and some of the
- paint programs it they would help.
