Hi guys:
Searching for experiences with Plustex's OpticBook and came across this thread.
Couple of questions and suggestions.
1. What is the scanning speed of OpticBook, using 8-bit greyscale, at 300dpi, 400dpi and 600dpi?
2. Does the manual mention the duty-cycle in terms of scans per day, month or life of machine?
Some suggestions.
1. From my experience with xeroxing books, saves time and easy on the eyes and the cover (no need to close it for every scan) if one uses white paper to cover the area of glass not needed. Use scotch tape and make sure it does not touch the glass - leaves some residue.
2. From reading, seems a lossless format is best for storing images. Apparently with jpeg one loses quality with every save. tiff is widely used, png is also good.
3. For shuffling odd and even pages, one can use rotate and Quite Imposing Plus inside Adobe acrobat. Scan all the even pages and then the odd pages - makes it faster since the book need not be rotated.
Best
Nag
