Bud,
Make sure you're pressing down on the book to make it flat as possible
without damaging the book, and make sure that the book is straight on the
scanner. Some books are more forgiving about pressing down and making sure
they are straight, and others are not. I think it depends on the font and
how much trouble the OCR software has with it. You could also try another
OCR package since K-1000 supports more than one. One of the others may be
more forgiving about the placement of the book.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A strange scanning problem
Hi Gang,
Every once in a while I have this problem and don't know if it has to
do with the book or what. I'm using k1000 and windoweyes. Every
once in a while while scanning I get a message that the page appears
to be blank. I'm scanning two pages at a time. When I go to
investigate one pagte is blank and the other one is kind of garbled
with text from both pages. Usually all I have to do is to rescan it
and it comes out right. So I just delete the two bad pages and go on
my merry way. Any thoughts? As I say it only happens
occasionally. However in this book it has happened four or five
times and I'm only up to page 25.
Thanks for any thoughts.
