Jay,
There should be a setting in the scanning software which changes the settings
for the scanner. What you are looking for is a 'descreen' setting to remove the
moire from the scanned page. There are other settings for 'art print' and so on
and you might want to experiment to see what looks best. I use Umax software
and hardware but yours should be something the same. Good luck!
