Bookeye Scanning Tips

For a usage tutorial with both videos and images, please visit our KIC BookScanner Help Guide
The KIC scanner by the Reserves shelves is operable entirely via touchscreen
The file type of any scan defaults to a searchable PDF with certain quality and color options
- You can change the file type, quality, and coloration of the file using the options on the right side of the touchscreen
Set your book as close to the center of the scanning pad as possible
For thick books that don't lie flat, the bookrest can be converted into a V-shaped cradle using legs under the outside portions of each plate
You can send your file as an e-mail attachment to yourself, or download directly to your own USB storage
- You can even have the scanner upload your document to cloud storage and access it via QR Code direct from the machine!
Remember to send or download your file before you end your session!
Due to attachment size limitations, larger files may be broken into multiple sections, which may lead to incorrect ordering of pages
- To avoid this, you can break them into smaller files yourself by limiting the number of pages scanned per session
  - To scan more, end your session and start a new one
  - Adobe Acrobat allows you to combine multiple PDFs into one, once you've downloaded them onto your own computer
If attempting to send a large file as an e-mail attachment, the system may seem to freeze but will generally complete after a modest delay
