or to put it more clearly, line drawing or text in B&W. I have only
recently bought a 3490 and although it is a little fiddly compared to
other scanners I have used I am getting the hang of it, except when I
try to scan B&W plane line stuff, like timesheets etc. What I usually
end up with is patchy, lines often broken or rough. Is there anything
I can do apart from using colour or greyscale to get around this?

At what resolution are you scanning the line drawings? Your threshold
setting may also be too low.

I try 600 as a rule, I also found adjusting the threshold seemed to do
more bad than good. thanks for the link though, I'll pop off and take
a look
