When I opened the Imaging it calibrated to my scanner. I discovered that the settings were to scan at 150 pixels. I was getting way too many errors. I upped it to I think around 600-800. It takes a bit of time to scan but it is near perfect. I couldn't believe it.

I used to scan at 600 DPI. When a OCR program couldn't convert a certain area and left a graphic version of the text there instead, it still looked good.

600 dpi with color or 8-bit gray is almost overkill, but it assures a program like Omnipage gets the best results.

However, several OCR programs can't use the gray or color scan depth to increase accuracy.
