I assume you are using K1000 V8 or 8.1. Pressing the book firmly against the scanner is one of the most important parts of getting a good scan. While Grayscale is often very good, I find there are times when I can do better using static and setting the brightness either manually or through scanner optimization. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Byron Grosselfinger" <byron_grosselfinger@xxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 9:37 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Kurzweil Hello, I am wondering if anyone can inform me on the best way to get the optimal scan using K1000? I have changed the scanner setting to grayscale but am still errors in the recognition of text. The book is a brand new one and the contrast of the print seems good. Any suggestions? Thanks!
