You want to copy with XSane? The settings depend on what you want to
copy and what your printer can do. I'm setting the resolution to 600
dpi, that's the maximum my printer can do. And I'm using lineart-mode.
Sometimes the threshold must be adjusted for light or dark images.

But your settings may vary, especially if your books contain a lot of
images instead of text.

Bye,
