Blank pages are saved when converting to rtf.
However, I think I should mention that Christopher probably needs to go into
the Conversion settings and disable Split Long Pages. Under Settings for
Opening Documents, in the rtf section, there’s only one setting. Make sure that
Split Long Pages says disabled.
I don’t know if it actually puts hard page breaks into the rtf file when that
setting is enabled, or just the soft ones that MS Word puts in. But it can get
confusing either way, and you definitely don’t want any extra hard page breaks
in the middles of long pages if that’s what it does insert.

When you convert from Kurzweil to .rtf, are blank pages saved?
I know with Openbook, I have to make sure that I have made a notation on blank
pages; otherwise, they are removed from the .rtf file.
Maybe that is Christopher’s question?

Kurzweil inserts page breaks at the end of each page and you’ll see them in the
rtf copy. You’ll have to add the page break symbol to the jaws dictionary for
word to see them if you are using jaws.

I have to echo Larry here. Having scanned over 500 books with K1000, I can
definitively say there are no magic settings. Certainly, grayscale does work
pretty well a lot of the time; but it isn’t always the best setting. Use the
optimize scanning feature and you’ll see that it often chooses settings other
than grayscale, and brightness levels can vary considerably from one book to
another. Those are just two examples. Other settings can also affect scan
quality.
So either do some tests, or try out the optimize scanning feature and go with
that. For a beginner, I would recommend using the optimizer. It is true that
there are times when it may not give the absolute best result, but I still
think it’s the best way to go until you’ve scanned a good number of books and
develop some intuition as to whether to stick with what the optimizer gives you
or change it.
