I was scanning some documents last night using my Microtek E3. I figured
that since the text was straight black and white that I should use the
lineart setting. Even at 300dpi the result was unreadable. Using
greyscale produced nice docs.

So, what's going on? When I select lineart or whatever, I assume that
this is setting the scanner to scan in a particular mode...so shouldn't
it be able to resolve b/w text better in lineart mode?
