Page 16 Operation Manual
A.3 Device Location
A.3.1 Environment
Choose a location that complies with the temperature and humidity specifications.
For detailed information on these specifications, see the chapter D.2.
A.3.2 Ambient Light
The Bookeye 4’s location should have a controlled ambient light situation. The light
scenarios should avoid direct sunlight or spot light from light beams.
Also light sources that cause sharp shadows on the document on the book cradles or high
levels of ambient light could influence the scan result negative.
The Bookeye 4 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.
Summary of a recommended location for a Bookeye 4 scanner:
The location is not exposed to daylight.
It is evenly illuminated from the ceiling with fluorescent lamps with electronic ballasts.
The light intensity measured on the book cradles should be approximately 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 can
also produce distinct shadows.
Light beams from spotlights will also produce distinct 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® 4 scanner itself has no infrared content at all, which
means that the scanner does not have an image quality degrading infrared filter. Too
much infrared content will result in overexposure.
The Bookeye® 4 scanner has an integrated “White Balance” function. This function will
compensate ambient light influences. A “White Balance” calibration is recommended
when the light scenario has changed.
For details about the ”White Balance” calibration, see chapter B.6.1 White Balance.
Operation Manual Page 17
A.4 Book Cradles
The book cradles on the Bookeye 4 can be set in different positions.
Picture 3: Book cradles flat and closed
The plates of the book cradle can be slid apart from each other. The maximum distance
between the book cradles is approximately 325 mm (12.8 inch).
Picture 4: Book cradles flat and opened
This allows placing books or other documents with a large spine in a position more
beneficial for the book spine.
Page 18 Operation Manual
The plates can also be set in the “V” position, with an opening angle of 120 degrees. This
is recommended for very delicate, old documents.
Picture 5: Book cradles in the "V" position
When the book cradles are lifted to the “V” position, they are held by a supporting leg on
