[bksvol-discuss] Re: opticbook and nass narkets

Hi Monica. That makes sense and is indeed what I've tried to do with several mass markets, but as yet I haven't found one that doesn't chop off the letters at the spine of every other page. Hence I always had to scan in two page mode to get a readable copy. If you can scan this way, and clearly you can, I wonder what is happening so I can't.

I should ad here that before I got my computer formatted I installed the new drivers with the same results. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Monica Willyard" <rhyami@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Julia. I'm a little confused by your post. Maybe we're talking at
cross-purposes somehow. In one-page mode with an Opticbook, you shouldn't be bending your spine at all. You lay the book flat with the book edge against 
the inside of the spine. You can put the lid down, and that lets you scan
without even pressing down on the book. I usually hold mine in place with
the palm of my hand because I don't feel like messing with the lid. Once
you've scanned a page, you turn to the next page, turn your book around, and lay it down on the glass again. So at no time do you need to bend anything. All you need to do is make sure your page is straight and that the book edge 
is pressing snugly against the inside spine of your book.

Hi Monica. Sorry it took me so long to reply.
   I seem to have a problem scanning mass markets in one page mode.
Whenever I try to do this every other page comes out missing letters from
the binding. Jackie says its because I don't have the spine bent back far
enough.
   I remember this one Maureen Lee book I'd already tried your method of
bending the book back every fifteen pages before scanning. I got halfway
through scanning it in two page mode and tried it in one page mode and the
missing letter phenomenon still occurred. Is anyone else having this
problem?
   I'll try your settings next time and see how they turn out.
Thanks,
Julia
