You're right Jeff, I do scan at 300dpi.

I didn't even think of increasing the scan dpi setting. Thanks.

I wasn't using the fast computer because I am still not familiar with
the PhotoImpression 5 software that Epson included with the all-in-one,
so I used the W3.1 box with HP DeskScan 2 and Corel PhotoPaint 5 to try
doing the job.

It's a moot point now because I was scanning the small label under a GE
USB Hub BEFORE I put a strip of Velcro that was included in the box to
keep it from moving where I put it.
The Velcro is in place on the bottom of the hub now.   :-{

Next time I try something similiar I hope I remember your suggestion to
increase the Scan dpi to make the image more useful.

Yes, I did read the messages from You and Jean about the digital photo
frames.
Every bit if information I can glean from this Echo is appreciated.
