Hi Harvey!

A couple things I can say here.

Remember they mainly expect most things to be on standard 8.5x11 pages. If
that ain't what you've got, you shouldn't expect good results.

Did you follow the instructions about aligning the page with the guide on
the Pearl stand?

If you've done all that, and the light makes no difference, there's probably
little else you can do, although I have have marginally more success when
making other lighting adjustments unrelated directly to the Pearl that may
be having an empact. Even if the windows are fairly distant from you, the
in-coming light may be harming your results, so closing curtins may help.

I now have little use for Open Book, but I do appreciate that some still
have to depend on it because it may be all they have.

73,
Dave

Subject: OT Pearl question

I just set up my Pearl camera for use with OpenBook, but I'm not getting a
full reading of any document I scan it with.  I'm using the latest version
of OpenBook, I have the Pearl camera as my device, and I am enabling the
camera light by pressing control L when I go into OpenBook.  I read the
quick start guide, and as far as I can tell, I have everything according to
the way they say to set it up.  Can anyone offer any tips on either
settings, or positioning the document to be read?  Thanks and 73.
Harvey
