How to use a book designed scanner.

The Scanner

Located in the Freedman Center Lab at Station # 1 on the 1st floor, the Book Scanner requires the checkout of a Freedman Center USB key at the Service Center Desk.

The Book Scanner has a bookedge designed to take flat, clear scans of book pages at 300 DPI. Easy buttons along the side provide quick scanning; 30 pages can be scanned in less than 5 minutes.

Alternatives: Our Flatbed scanner scans high quality flat image, and scanning time is dependent on resolution settings chosen.
