If I try to scan both open pages, the OCR in HP Precision Scan Pro reads the entire book from left to right. In other words, lines from the right page are interjected into lines from the left page.

Does anyone know if there is a setting and/or way to avoid this? I'd love to cut the number of scans in half, since this is tedious at best. (I'm sure I wouldn't be so eager if I didn't have a new "toy.")

Thanks!
Well I know in previous HP scanner software, you scan the entire thing to get a thumbnail and then surround the bit you want to scan. You could do that with each page. Just select that bit to scan.
