Dear Lisa;
A document feeder can be much faster, depending on the type of media it is fed.
What brand of scanner and model number is it? Maybe we can get more information
from that. Most of them give performance numbers based on sheets of printing
paper, not book pages which can vary in size and thickness. Chopping the spine
is another issue in getting consistency for feeding.
As to page breaks, that will always be a function of the software, unless I am
missing something.
For what it's worth, I bought a scanner with a document feeder for the very
same reasons as you, but I was never successful (probably because of the size
of the paperbacks I was using) in getting it to process pages that way.
Hopefully you will be more fortunate than us and can report back to the group
if that is the case. I know everyone is always looking for better ways to scan.
In the end, I ended up buying an optic book for its book edge and that is
working better for me.
Have fun with your new toy! Smiles.
Valerie
