Have you tried doing scans and varying the settings to see what happens?

I have not sure about the IV software..but it should be the same. You can use GAIN to reduce some of the grains. After that you can use Noise Ninja or Neat Image to "smooth" out the grain.

What type of film are you using? you'll find that 400+ iso film gonna be really grainy when scanned.

Those are just settings that refer to the final use of your scan, and relate to the scan resolution. You probably want the highest resolution available. ( "document", if I remember correctly)
