How about using something like a (photograph) slide scanner type

PhotoShop, but that would probably be easier than printing first.
Unless, of course, you (or someone else) want the paper copy too.

Yesterday evening, I dug out the microfiches,
and, indeed, there is a
"VT100 Technical Manual", part no. EP-VT100-TM-001, dated "Sep
1980".
If anything out of these two fiches can help you, we'll need to find a
way of scanning them. Reduction ratio is 42:1.
It's not possible to scan fiche directly (or so I've been told/shown). You
first have to use a fiche printer (not cheap), then scan the paper copy. I
may end up buying a fiche printer later this year if things work out. I
had planned to buy one by mid this year, but looks like I won't be able
to.

Well, the problem is that a scanner does not have enough resolution to
scan the reduced microfiche images. The only way to get a good print is to
optically enlarge them (which is part of the printing process), then scan
the enlarged version.

Never say "only way". I having good luck pointing
a digicam into a microscope eyepiece. There
must be a good way of doing that, esp for the SLR
holders out there.
Forms a direct to digital method anyway.
