Thanks that is what the problem was, oh boy do I feel stupid now ... Off to search bookshare to make sure no one has the books I’m thinking about scanning, thanks for the help. I hope you are a friendly group because I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions.

Remember to save your settings as the default settings if you want open book to always come up with the 3800.

I just upgraded from a 3600 to a 3800 and it works pretty well but with some issues I’m trying to resolve. What OCR program are you using. K1000 acts a little strangely with the 3800 but if you draw focus back to k1000 during the scan, you should be all right. I’ve been very pleased with the results so far. Before you scan a book, you need to check the collection to make sure it isn’t already there. You should also probably check the books being processed to make sure someone hasn’t scanned it before you.

Any advice, pointers, off or on list, I am very, very new but really want to scan so any help is appriciated!! Also, if an author is already on bookshare then her/his books should be okay to scan right?? Was going to start out with Laura Levine’s missing books in the series already on bookshare!!
