I have got better scans and it gets all the lines even down by the binder. As for me, even the headers have been better, easier to replace with the control/h and while having one good hand, it scans 6 to 8 pages while I am reading the current page. I think it is set at 350 words a minute or there abouts.

Does it really scan and recognize in four seconds? I'm in shock! My Epson Perfection 1660 takes about 17 seconds. If this can really be cut, even if just by half, then the OpticBook would be well worth the investment. And if you will put up with another question...So you can scan in two-page mode if you want to, and then use the edge feature for books that have print that goes into the crease? Are there other goodies about this scanner that I might want to know before making the purchase? Does it have any drawbacks over a standard scanner? Thanks for putting up with so many questions on a Monday morning! As my 1660 is still working perfectly well, I'd really need justification for laying out $230 for a new scanner, but I'm willing to be convinced! <smile> Donna -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com - What can On Demand Business Solutions do for you? http://link.mail2web.com/Business/SharePoint To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
