Gary, I wonder if it matters that my past 3 scanners weren't on Kurzweil's approved scanners list. They seemed to behave very differently from the Epson I'm using now. The Visioneer scanner is the one where I noticed the biggest difference between brightness settings while the threshold was set to grayscale. According to Nick, that scanner wasn't supposed to work with Kurzweil at all. Lol. I submitted somewhere around 20 books in excellent shape with it. Mayrie used a scanner from that line too and submitted a lot more than me. For me, that goes into the file labeled "things that don't make sense but still work." -- Monica Willyard Visit my blog at http://www.scannersguild.com To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
