Hi Peggy, With the OpticBook 3800, you should be able to do a page at a time in each book by aligning one page of the book with the edge of the scanner, then flipping it around (so it's upside down) and scanning the other side. You can also do two-page scanning, by holding the book open, firmly pressing your hand down on the spine, and scanning in two-page mode.

I’ll get it, lol.

You need to tell us which version of open book you are using, which scanner you are using. If the scanner is a flat bed (not a book edge) make sure the page you are scanning is all the way on the glass.

What settings in Openbook might make my scans better?? Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever. Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.
