[Reader-users] The New Downloadable Upgrade

[W. Nick Dotson]

In fact, the "upgrade doc" specifically says to flatten out the bill and have it 12 to 18 inches from the camera

 Hello,
 Just installed the upgrade. The reader is noticeably faster at processing 
 images, the full list of version changes is available online.
 However, I can't get the reader to read currency. I've tried several bills 
 and none seem to work. Maybe it's the reader orientation, or my bills are 
 faded. Does anyone know if the bills need to be flat? If so, blind people 
 are going to have problems, since the folded money keeps curling up on 
 itself. Possibly a clear overlay would help?
 Just my thoughts
 I love the fact that upgrades are available to download.
