[bksvol-discuss] Re: HP SJ5590

HI Robert, 

 

I ordered mine through Amazon which has them shipped from Tiger Direct. From
what I was seeing out there back in the fall the going price was about $239
plus shipping. I know Ernie got a little better price but they made up the
difference in shipping. 

Shipping on mine was about $8. 

 

I have only used two scanners now, My Canon DR2080c  which is an ADF only
scanner and the OpticBook. All things considered, I almost like the
OpticBook better. ADF, in my humble opinion, are great in concept and do
work well in some cases, the OpticBook is my preferred scanner for doing
books now. I am trying to get work to buy me one to have there. They are
getting double monitors for everyone and a double monitor  means nothing to
me. I will be talking with my Manager this morning about it. 

 

Let us know what you decide!

I would have to echo Prattik's comments. Also being a bookedge scanner you
won't have to hold books down on the flat bed. I would say the most strain
would be when scanning a large hard cover book, balancing the book until the
two half's equal out a bit. 

The scanner and Kurzweil both keep up as fast as I can flip and hit scan.
Quality all and all is very good:-)

Depending on how much you're planning to spend, you might want to consider
the Opticbook 3600 scanner from Plustek (www.plustek.com).  It can be a bit
querky, but manageable.  I don't recommend HP scanners at this time.  some
of the cannons aren't too bad either.  You can't beat the Plustek in speed.

Kurzweil does not recommend HP scanners since you cannot control the
dark-light feature. I have an HP scanner and this is what I found. I bought
an Epson scanner which didn't work so I returned it and kept my HP scanner.
However, I am thinking about getting a Canon since the HP is not great.
Also, most HP scanners are not compatible with the Kurzweil software. You
might want to call Kurzweil, technical support and ask the technician before
you spend your money for an inadequate scanner.

This is the new scanner I'm thinking on getting. Here is my question though.
With the use on my left hand and limited use of my right, iS it easy to use
the ADF which comes with it and how do you use it with kurzweil? I saw flip
side in the menus and was wondering if you put the first page in and somehow
make it do the flip side somehow. If someone can give me the step by step
instructions, thanks in advance. I have a hard cover book here that I
brought of a book that is going to be redone because there are too manny
errors in the copy on bookshare.
