A.2 Device Overview
Picture 1: Components of Bookeye® 3 scanner
For a first look at the Bookeye® 3 scanner, some of the components have been identified
in the above photo. These components are referenced in this operation manual.
The Bookeye® 3 scanner main hardware elements are:
— The main body with two book cradle plates attached.
— Two lamps.
— The camera neck with camera head on top.
— The keyboard with LED display.
Page 12 Operation Manual
A.2.1 Device Location
A.2.1.1 Environment
Choose a location that complies with the limits of temperature and humidity. Refer to
chapter 0 for detailed environmental specification.
A.2.1.2 Ambient Light
The location should have a controlled ambient light situation. Light scenarios to avoid are
direct sunlight, spot light from light beams, light sources that cause sharp shadows on the
scanning bed, high levels of ambient light and varying light conditions.
The Bookeye® 3 scanner is an open system with a built-in high quality light source. Open
system means, that the ambient light is added to the light seen by the camera.
The recommended location for the Bookeye® 3 scanner:
• Is not exposed to daylight.
• Is evenly illuminated from the ceiling with fluorescent lamps with electronic
ballasts. The light intensity measured on the book cradles should be approx. 300
lux.
• The light should not cause any shadows; therefore the variation of the intensity
across the scan area should be kept below 20%.
If the fluorescent lamps are powered by non electronic ballasts, they will produce a flicker
twice the frequency of the main power supply (100Hz or 120Hz). If the intensity of this
light becomes too high, vertical stripes of even distances of approx. 8-12 pixels will be
visible on the scan.
Direct sunlight will vary over the day and will result in overexposed images. Sunlight also
can produce sharp shadows.
Light beams from spotlights will also produce sharp shadows. In most cases, they emit a
high level of infrared light. Infrared light is not visible to the human eye but to the camera.
The light source of the Bookeye® 3 scanner itself has no infrared content at all. The
advantage is that the scanner does not have an image quality degrading infrared filter.
Too much infrared content will result in overexposure.
The BOOKEYE Color scanner has an integrated “White Balance” function. This function
will compensate the ambient light influences. Therefore it is recommended to perform the
“White Balance” function when the ambient light scenario has been changed.
Operation Manual Page 13
A.2.1.3 Table
Place the device on a flat and solid base, preferable a solid table. The load bearing
capacity of the table must correspond to the device weight. The table should be build to
hold at least three times the weight of the unit. Also it should not shake or move to avoid
image distortions. If the table is too weak it can be attached to a solid wall to stabilize it.
A.2.1.4 Power outlet
Safety Note!
Ensure that the power outlet is always accessible. This will help to
separate the device from the power outlet in case of an emergency.
Page 14 Operation Manual
A.2.2 Connecting the Power Source
The power connector and the main power switch are located at the right side of the back
of the document bed.
Picture 2: Bookeye® 3 scanner back side view
Important: Before connecting to the power source, check the following items:
The wall outlet is in perfect condition and properly grounded.
The power cable is not damaged in any way.
The wall outlet fuse has the correct electrical dimensions. Refer to the technical
specification chart for detailed information.
Check the device fuse. Use only the specified device fuse. The device fuse specification is
named on the identification plate.
After the main power switch is turned on, the green START field above the START
button lights up. This indicates that the BOOKEYE Color is ready-to-use.
A.2.3 Connecting the Network
The BOOKEYE Color scanner is delivered with a cross-over cable (green cable
connectors) and a standard CAT6 network cable.
The network connector is located at the back side of the document bed.
Use the cross-over cable to connect the BOOKEYE Color scanner directly to a PC via a
network card.
Use the network cable to connect the BOOKEYE Color scanner to a network.
A.2.4 Connecting a Foot Pedal Switch
The scan sequence and other operations can be invoked through the optional available
foot pedal switches.
At the back side of the device, there are two jack plugs to which the foot pedal switches
can be connected. The jack plugs are labeled with “FS1” and “FS2”.

announced by the sound “Power down”.
Operation Manual Page 17
A.4 Book Cradle
The motorized book cradle is safely and easily operated. Two driving elements on each
side move the wooden cradles plates upwards. The plates are not connected to the
stand-offs. If the book cradle is lowered and something blocks its way down, only the
weight of the plate and eventually part of the weight of a book will squeeze the object.
The driving element will only move if the appropriate key is pressed. For security reasons
there is no way of moving the book cradle automatically or remotely.
Safety Note!
Always lower the book cradle to its home position before power off.
Important: If the book cradle plates get dirty or scratched, use the micro fiber cleaning
cloth to clean the surface of the plates. The cleaning cloth should be slightly
damp.
A.4.1 Removing the Book Cradle Plates
Lift the two book cradle plates to separate them from the main body. They are not
fastened to the driving elements; they only rest on them.
Picture 4: Book cradle on right side removed
Page 18 Operation Manual
A.4.2 Book Cradle Control Keys
Picture 5: Book cradle Control Keys
Operating one plate of the book cradle:
Left cradle up/down and/or Right cradle up/down
The control key on the outer side moves the corresponding
cradle up and down independently of the other cradle plate.
Operating both plates at the same time:
Cradles up
This key moves both plates upwards exactly in
synchronization.
Cradles down
This key moves both plates down exactly in synchronization.
Once a book has been balanced on the two book cradles, the compensator keys are used
to compensate between the two sides. That means, the surface of the book is at the same
height on both sides. The right compensator key operates identically on the right cradle.
Left compensator
The left compensator key lifts the left cradle and lowers the
right cradle at the same time.
Right compensator
The right compensator key lifts the right cradle and lowers the
left cradle at the same time.
Note: If the home position (lowest) of a cradle is reached, it stops automatically. An
acoustical click notifies the user of the fact that the end position is reached. If the
highest possible position is reached, it will also stop and generate the same click.
Operation Manual Page 19
A.4.3 Operating the Book Cradle
First lower both cradles to their home position. Place a book on the right plate, open the
book cover and raise the left cradle until it fully supports the left book cover. This is the
reference position.
Picture 6: Book cradle at start
If the optional glass plate is used, lift both cradles up until they reach the glass plate. Use
only the Cradles up / Cradles down keys for this, as they keep the balance between the
cradles. Move up until the glass plate is exactly horizontal, while manually applying some
pressure on the book.
Picture 7: Book cradle at start with glass plate option
Page 20 Operation Manual
Note: Watch the small opening (see arrows in picture below) between the glass plate’s
frame and the cradle. If the distance is equal on the upper and lower side, the
glass plate is in the horizontal position.
Picture 8: Horizontal alignment check
Operation Manual Page 21
After the reference position is reached, use only the left and right compensation keys
while advancing through the book.
This will ensure that the distance of the book’s surface stays constant through the entire
process and will therefore guarantee exactly the same resolution and size on all pages.
