I believe Scanner Tool translates to xsane? I know I had an

I'm trying to copy a page of clear text with an HP-5370C flat
bed scanner that I have been using for some time. I am using
xsane which I believe I installed via yum before I realized that
Scanner Tool meant xsane. Scanner Tool will not start apparently
because it sees another version of xsane.
That's not really my problem however. I have saved scans as .png
and .pnm and neither will print a clear copy. The text looks as
though it was copied through the mesh of a window screen and is
hard to read.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Ok, I found a resolution control in the xsane menu. It's marked
with a ideogram of different sized dots. I should have
recognized that as resolution I guess. The default is 80, 300
produces readable copy.
