[Reader-users] Multi page format

[Bill Reif]

Hello Dean and list,

I actually have multipage format set as my default.  (I find it easier to 
simply press the 6 key if I want a second page to be another document.)

I have found that any unassigned number key will take the reader out of 
reading mode.  You only need to press the star key once if the machine isn't 
in the process of reading.  You may want to get in the habbit of pressing 
enter to stop the reading, verifying there are no processing beeps, and then 
pressing star once.  Otherwise, you risk having the reader cancel processing 
that might not have been completed.  (Note that reading often does begin 
before processing has been completed.)  Finally: note that pressing the left 
or right arrow after pressing star will return you to reading mode if there 
is text to be read.

I agree that the above is not documented well, having discovered it myself 
through experimentation.

Bill

Hi,
After listening to reviews online and following threads on this list,
I found multi page format reading doesn't seem that popular so ended
up with a few questions when my dealer came to train me with my
reader the other day.  Thanks to them, they found a solution for me
to a problem which may or may not have been discussed.

The manual says that I can take a picture and once it starts to read
press down again to take another.  however this isn't the case as the
reader is still in reading mode.  Instead you have to press * twice
and then take another picture and the next page will be on page 2, 3,
4 etc.  For me this is a crucial part of the reader and it seems to
be mis-documented but no one has mentioned it on here and I've been
on the list for a few weeks now.

At least now its obvious why people have glossed over multi page
format in the presentations I've heard!

Dean
