Thanks Steven. I did solve the problem and it was all my fault. I didn't
notice, but the inside of the book cover was extending out almost an inch
from the edge of the pages I was scanning and so the poor scanner was
trying to read that also along with the page. I'll know better the next
time. I just put some white paper on the cover to cover it up and all was
fine. I can't believe I didn't discover that earlier. Thanks again for
your interest.

Hi Bud.
Don't show your wife the page, show your wife the image of the page as you scanned it. I assume you are using two page mode. Turn on keep images, scan two pages, and, if the problem is there, show your wife the images that you scanned using Control+W or the Tools Show Image menu item. My suspicion is that the source of the problem will be pretty obvious from the image.

I don't know quite where to direct this problem so I am sending it to three lists that may have a clue. This has happened with the last two books I have scanned. I think just since I have installed k1000 version 9 and windoweyes sp4.
When scanning a book at the beginning of every other page there is a bunch of jibberish before the actual page starts to read. It's maybe six or seven lines. When I show the book to my wife she sees no printing like that. If I print the page out on my printer it is here. As I say, it's just on every other page. If I didn't actually experience it here I wouldn't believe it. Any ideas, I'm really baffled. I've been scanning books for years and this has never happened before except for the last two books I've scanned. In fact, I stopped scanning the second book and deleted it until I can figure out what is going on. Any ideas? I'm really sane and normal. It really baffles me.
Thanks.
