Alexis,
 
What is the model and manufacturer of your scanner.  This appears to be a
scanner issue and not realted to Openbook.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] An OpenBook question


I'm using OpenBook version 7.02 for my OCR and had a question regarding
something that's recently come up.  Normally when I scan something using
express batch, there is a tone indicating when the scan is done (this is
actually after the scanner beam thing has reached the top of the scanner
glass.)  I know then that I can turn to the next set of pages.  
 
Recently, however, I have had an interesting problem.  When I start a
scanning project, the first page scans fine, meaning I hear the scanner's
motor humming like it's supposed to.  After the tone sounds, though, I turn
to the next page and wait for the motor to sound again.  I don't hear the
motor but rather hear the tone again.  When I stop the scan, I notice that
multiple pages have scanned, one or two for each tone.
 
With all that info, here is my question.  What do I need to do in order to
ensure the scanner's motor continues to run?  I rely on the motor's sound to
tell me that the scanner is indeed scanning.  Without it, I have no idea
what's happening.  
 
Any insight would be very helpful.  Thank you.
