My Scanner Settings That Delivered
Ok my scanner is an HP. My prob was I had my settings too low. I was at medium sharpness, need to go higher. I went extreme.
I also did not have "scan in depth" checked at first.
Best to go a 1200 dpi and then crop out the license but do not touch the borders of course. Leave a little white around. I used a natural background. No paper over. But by going 1200 dpi and cropping out you get a pretty nice scan and only 2.5M.
Maybe this thread will help a searcher or something get it right.
As Chris told me this is a very important factor as ALL license scans must be up to high standards in case they are reviewed.
So we live and learn. I also learned more about using my scanner too.
Thanks for your patience Chris.

Ok my best to everyone. Have a great day.
