Hi, Jackie,
This is the proper place for this message.
But I am a little confused by your message. I have scanned dozens of books
in two-page mode with K1000 and before that with OpenBook. I do it all the
time. I haven't seen any book I have scanned where the page breaks did not
correspond with the page numbers. If this happens, then I am curious how it
occurs. Some setting is wrong perhaps? Since page recognition is an OCR
issue,
two-page mode should work fine with the standalone versions of the OCR
engines that OpenBook and K1000 use, such as FineReader, Recognita and
Scansoft.
It's hard to say more without knowing what software you are using, but if it
has a two-page mode, then the page breaks should correspond with the page
numbers while scanning two pages at the same time. If whatever you are using
has this option, make sure it is set before starting to scan.
Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.
Evan

Hello, all:
I don't really know where this should go so if this isn't the right
place, some1 tell me where 2 take it & I will.
I just had a book rejected because page breaks don't correspond
w/printed page numbers. The manual says there should be a 90%
correspondence. I have a few concerns about this, which I wish 2
express, & then I'll shut up.
1) The volunteer was correct, according 2 the manual, 2 reject the
book, so I need 4 her 2 understand my problem is not w/her. She did
what she was instructed 2 do.
2) My problem is w/the policy. Specifically, when a paperback is
small enough 2 scan 2 pages at once, I think it's ridiculous 2 expect
a close page number correspondence. It will discourage people from
scanning because scanning will take twice as long since each page will
need 2 b scanned individually. That's not fair, not to the person
submitting the book & not 2 the readers.
I really hope that this policy will be reexamined & some changes made.
The volunteer acknowledges that it was an excellent scan, that all
copyright & publication information was present, & that the only
reason 4 rejection was the issue of page numbers. Yall, that's not
right.
Again, if this isn't the proper venue, plese accept my apologies &
tell me where to go, as it were. If it is, then I hope some
productive discussion can be generated & some resolutions obtained.
Thanking every1 in advance for their attention.
