[comp.sys.hp] HP ScanJet Plus

I've been using a Scanjet Plus scanner for several months now.  It works
fine except for the variable resolution.  There's a debate going on over
the alleged "up to 1500" DPI resolution.  I've tested this feature fairly
extensively.  It seems that it is NOT TRUE 1500 DPI resoultion but some form
of interpolation.

I've scanned several small files at high 1500x1500 resolution and blown them up
in the Mac program Digital Darkroom.  There does not seem to be any additional
information in these files beyond what shows up in files scanned at 300 DPI.

Is this true?  Has HP deceived by advertising this as a 1500 DPI scanner when
all it is is a 300 DPI scanner?  I would like to see an answer on this from HP
personnel in the scanner division.
