Actually, the ideal resolution for instructions is 75dpi, the ideal
resolution for
catalogs is 150dpi.  Save them in jpeg format (at least 75% quality if
you have that
option) and *please* use the naming convention xxxx-yy.jpg (0360-04.jpg
for example),
as that saves me a lot of work.

as for catalogs, the naming convention is fairly complicated, but the
current key
is at http://www.kl.net/scans/catalogs/NAMING

You can scan and send them both to ftp.kl.net. For scanning suggestions, take a
look at http://www.kl.net/scans/ (I personally suggest scanning them at 150 dpi,
with magazine level descreening and auto contrast enabled if your scanner
supports it.)

I assume you already know using ftp client and scanning software, but if you
have further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
