I agree with what Tim says about this. The best way I have found
to 'photocopy' is to use !ArcFax along with David Pilling's TWAIN
and a rather old Epson GT-7000 scanner. This provides plenty of
room for experimentation with resolution, contrast, etc, during
the scan (set to B+W or Greyscale). A very large TIFF file is
produced which I do not save. The file can be viewed and printed
with offset margins and at any scale from within ArcFax.
