[Blindtlk] open book

Mon Aug 22 22:20:53 UTC 2011

    Well, I am pretty much on my own.
Been at this all day, lol.
But I went back to advanced, device selection, and tabbed once to "no 
scanner," but wanted to see if I could change it since it is a combo box.
So, I hit the down arrow key and was surprised to find the name of my 
printer!
One problem though. I ti has two choices and I don't know which one to 
choose, both being my printer, but with different numbers, like one has 4usb 
and the other has something like 4n, at the end of the line.
So, I DK which one to try.

hi,

then i agree with Ron and the twain driver for your printer/scanner is not
installed.
let us know if someone set everything up or if you were left to figure it
out on your own.

>>    Hi Peggy.
>> I emailed you a while ago and haven't gotten a response.

>> I'm very frustrated because I've tried the insert key on the num pad. I 
>> didn't hear anything.
>> I'm wondering how am I going to know when it's done scanning? Will it say 
>> something?
>>
>> So, the insert key didn't do anything.
>> I then tried the space bar, but you know what?
>> A dialog box came up and said "acquisition... combo box, scanner."
>> So I assumed that was highlighted.
>> I tabbed down to see what else was in the dialog box and there was 
>> another combo box that read "no scanner."
>> Then the usual "ok and cancel" buttons.
>>
>> Seeing as how I don't know what I'm doing, lol, I hit enter on cancel.
>> Because I didn't want to mess anything up and not know how to change it 
>> back, if I needed to.
>> I really don't know what I'm going to do!

>>    Hi all,
>> I recently got open book, just the program, to increase my independence.
>> Now, I’m a hands on learner, don’t like to read to find out how something
>> works.
>> My first question of many is, does it work better if I had the Pearl?
>> I have a scanner, but don’t know how to use it.
>> When you open the program, it says, “open book version 9.0, read only.”
>> Then I’m clueless as to what to do next or how to work it without having

>> read the guide.
>>
>> So, if anyone has any tips or a quick lesson, it would be greatly
>> appreciated.
>> God bless you all.
>> Nikki
