Scanning books of 1,000 to 1,500 pages was routine. Making sure that the sections were in order was essential so that the final book scan exactly matched the original book. But for any thick book I had to cut the spine to create a 1/2'” thick section of the book and scan all such sections. I never cut off any text during the cutting but it was a constant vigil to balance between the cut depth, glued pages and the book gutter. Thus, after the cut the pages are fanned to catch any glued pages. When scanning the scanner halts and the pages must be separated – slowing the process. Glue, during binding, can seep into the pages. Further there is a fine line between cutting on the edge of the binding and cutting so that no glue exists on the pages. In the extreme this can cut into the edge of the gutter and cut text off. Thicker books, typically above 1/2” curl during the cut. Cutting books takes more than just put them in the cutter and chop.

Only once was it necessary to have the blade sharpened. I purchased, used, a relatively low cost paper cutter. As a result I checked the image sensor glass after each book and cleaned it as required.īook cutting requires special care. If not removed this creates a line in the text. It is also very common that the glue, especially the glue on the first or last pages, will rub off on the glass plate of the scanner. As a result in creating this library I found no missed pages due to two pages that passed as one through the scanner. The fi-6670 has a multifeed sensor that is excellent at detecting multiple pages stuck together. I set up the scanner to scan as large at A3 but when the pages passed the scanner they were immediately sized.

Further, the scanner driver was set up to automatically recognize color and the page size.

Thus, operationally the task is to constantly feed the scanners. By the time this is complete the OCR on the other computer is usually finished. The scanner is then switched to another computer which starts scanning another book. Once a scanner completes a book, it stops to do an OCR batch. To lower the overall time, the objective is to keep all the scanners running constantly.
