Lew,

Hopefully, this will help, I of course have access to Openbook 7 and 
Openbook 9, but not 8.  However, the layout changed in OB 9 as I recall.

To save as an image, O
Open settings with control-G.
Control tab to the scanning settings.
The first combobox is scan type.  Select image only.

When yo initiate a scan, you will select the filename for the image and the 
type of file you want to create, .pcx, .tif, .jpeg etc.

Steve, K8SP
