This may be due to

- major parts of the page are not readable (rescan with other brightness settings)
- scanner pulls sheets in slanted
In the meantime I control the sheets before I process them with the scanner. So I can detect sticked sheets easily. Sometimes the friction between the sheets is pretty high because of a rough surface. It always helps when I shake and reorder the pages before scanning so to make the sheets more "movable".
It is also important to arrange the pack of sheets in a "jagged" way to make the feeding easier.
I think the scanning mechanism is not to blame for the majority of problems. |
I think we had this kind of discussion before: with the Plustek Bookscanner I can scan may 6 pages a minute. There is no rescanning, checking for completeness and such. As a consequence little concentration is needed - usually I listen to an adiobook during scanning.
So in the end there does not seem to be a lot of difference between the two procedures.
