Hi Jackie.  I don't know the answer to that.

I believe that Steve Nutt has one so maybe he or someone else with one can 
give better information.

I understand it is a fast scanner.  It has been said on one of these lists 
that a page can be scanned in under 9 seconds which is pretty good.

Regards

Graham

Graham, regarding the Opticbook, can you set it up to do photocopying?  With
my Epson 1240, I have a really nifty facility that lets me press one of the
buttons on the front and it photocopies documents, which is really handier
than trying to get someone to copy them for you.  If I ever had to upgrade
my scanner, it would be a feature I would hate to lose.  But I like the
sound of the book edge facility on the Opticbook.
