Hi Bill. If this is happening, it is truly sad. Even though the all in one units are improving, neither FS or kurzweil endorse their use with their products....
Hi all! Just passing this along for what it may be worth, and perhaps in case someone might be able to explain the importance of what I have done. It was...

At this point, we don't know if the problem is with the scanner or with some setting in Openbook. Are you saying the scanner scans one extra time and performs...
maybe you used your scanner with another program and changed the scanner properties to make 2 copies of everything it scans? i do not think there is a setting...

You say you need to buy a new scanner but is this to replace the current one or strictly for portable use? I've only seen one scanner that gets its power from...
