I am using Epson Scan that has three modes, home, office, and
professional. None improve things much. My real problem is that the
original is quite 'weak' - the printing is not very distinct, even in
my original copy (which may be a scanned copy in and of itself I
guess). I just need something to make the black (gray) more black,
and the white more white. Can someone suggest a W7 something?

1. Is your document primarily text?

Yes


2. How many pages?

30



If it is mostly text, the easiest thing to try would be OCR (Optical Character
Recognition). Abby offers an online OCR service that will give you a limited
number of pages for free.

This will basically digitize the text and create a band new document with
editable text.


I tried page 1 - only had a few fixable errors. Then I changed the
font in the .doc page to bold, and voila! The text is great.

Thanks.

Oh good, so the OCR solved your problem?

Essentially yes. I have had to do minor edits, and am half done on
the document itself. I thank you for the helps.

You are more than welcome, I am glad it helped! We use high speed Fujitsu
scanners and Abby Fine Reader extensively. Both contribute tremendously to
reducing our cost of business.
