Scan at a high DPI. Then take the image file and load it in a program like IrfanView. If you have a scanner, it probably included some image editing software.
First crop the image until it shows the content you want. Don't worry if it's still too big for CoasterBuzz, we'll fix that in a second.
Now we'll resize it. This involves telling the software that you want this picture, only a bit smaller on the screen. "Resampling" is a slower method of doing this which takes more time to analyze the picture, but looks better in the end. I'm not sure what software you're using, but in IrfanView that would be Edit, Resize/Resample. Select a width under 300 pixels, and you should be set. If the file is still too large size-wise (greater than 25K), you can try saving it with a higher compression ratio (should be an option in the Save function -- higher quality means bigger filesize), but I always save that as a last resort as JPEG compression can look pretty bad.
