Title: Blank
One thing I noticed with my OpticBook 3600 was that it was very picky about there being a book in the lower right-hand corner of the glass. If there wasn't, I often got blank pages as it was looking for information immediately and if it didn't find any it returned a blank page. Is that possibly the problem?

If you are scanning the whole two-page spread of the book, make sure you set “facing pages” to on.

Hey Guys;

I am trying to scan a book. I am using Open Book 9 and scanning with a Opticbook. This is what happens when I start the scan.

1. After placing the book on the scanner bed (book is a small paperback-trade paperback)

2. I start the scan with the space bar.

3. Scanner "completes the scan" and then

4. The finish product is "page 1 is blank"

5. I know that text is on the page because my husband is telling me that it is. I have scanned pages in the "middle" of the book and still I get the same results.

6. What am I doing wrong? 

7. I am using the setting that were given out this list by someone (I am not sure who) but I made a RTF file with the settings on them and also I spoke to Lori C. about the setting a few weeks back as well as with Larry L. and the settings that I got from both of them were just about the same.

Please help *I am pulling out my hair in frustration*

Thanks,

Netta
