Choose how to scan a Book
Start by selecting one of the three scanning options:
1. Scan one page at a time:
Use this option to scan a small amount of large pages.
2. Scan only odd or only even pages:
Use this option to scan pages in a large book.
Open the book and place the left or right page under the camera. If a portion of the
second page also appears under the camera, Zoom-Ex will ignore it. Do not move
the book until you have scanned all odd pages you want.
Once you have finished scanning odd pages, do the same for the even pages. Start
by turning the book 180 degrees. Be sure that the even pages are now under the
camera. The fact that the pages appear upside-down does not matter. Zoom-Ex
rotates the pages for you automatically when you want to read the book.
Change the
Next Page Number
to the first even page number and start scanning
the even pages. When you have finished, click the
Done
button. A Book will sort
and keep all the pages in the right order automatically.
3. Scan two pages at once:
Use this option to scan small sized books. If you place
the open book under the camera and can see both pages in the preview window
V
you can save both pages at once. While using this option, the book orientation is
important. Always put the book in landscape format and align the edges of the book
with the Zoom-Ex base.
When you scan two pages at once, both pages will be saved with their respective
numbers. When you are reading saved pages, you will be able to view each page
separately. If the Book failed to separate two pages, this will be indicated by an
error sound and will be saved as one page. In this case, you can delete that page.
See
Deleting a Page in a Book section
to adjust the book and save the same
pages again.
Note:
The default selection is to scan one page at a time.
Scanning modes
There are 2 types of scanning modes:
1. Manual Mode:
Press the
A
key or click the
Add
button to scan and save the page.
You will hear a shutter sound indicating that the page has been scanned and saved.
2. Auto Mode:
Click the
Start Auto Mode
button to start scanning and saving pages.
Then simply turn the pages. The Zoom-Ex camera has motion detectors so it will
scan each page as soon as the page image is still for a few seconds. It waits while
you turn the pages.
Auto
mode allows you to use both hands to hold the pages in
place, since you don‘t have to operate the mouse or keyboard to push the
Add
button.
Note:
The default selection is
Manual
mode.
