[nabs-l] scanning books with Kurzweil

[Greg Aikens]

Whether or not you can get two pages at once will depend on how tall your stand is and the size of the book. I'm not sure if they make stands that adjust their height. Mine does not. If you try to grab both pages at once you might want to try setting it to multi column under the document type button. Aside from that, you will probably just have to play around to see if you were getting the whole page.

With the batch mode, you only have to turn the page and it will detect when it is time to scan the next page. Far easier than flipping the book over, turning the page, and then putting it face down on the scanner again.

The other book is both wider and thicker, and I'm having trouble orienting it so that the scanner can capture the pages fully. Does anyone have any tips for scanning books efficiently? I thought of using my scan stand with KNFB reader, but I'm not sure which scanning option would be more tedious or time-consuming.
