What I found is that if my quality index went below about 95% the page
would have problems.
When I scanned the book i used a scan-and-read setting. When i tried
Immage scaning only with later recognician, I got a poorer quality
product. I don't know why.
In any case I did a line-by-line edit of the book before submitting my
second copy.
This is a rough way of telling you if you have a gross problem with a
page.
