A 4000 dpi scan with a bit depth of 16 bits/color give a file that is around 120 mb. See if turning on ICE cleans up the scans without hurting resolution too much. FARE on the Canon scanners works great without hurting resolution; I do not have to do any post scan clean up with FARE set to standard with the F4000.
