A.4 Device Location
A.4.1 Environment
Choose a location that complies with the temperature and humidity specifications. For
detailed information on these specifications, see the chapter E.4.
Please allow
• a minimum distance of 500 mm (20 inch) from any side walls,
• a minimum distance of 500 mm (20 inch) fr om a back wall,
• a minimum distance of one meter (3 feet) from any door or entrance way.
Picture 1: Minimum distance between Bookeye and walls
Do not operate the scanner in an area that has poor air circulation, and/or that is nonventilated.
®
Place the Bookeye
4 scanner on a flat and solid base. The load bearing capacity of the
base must correspond to the device weight.
The dimensions of the base must match with the floor space required by the scanner.
Please note: Before using the Bookeye
®
4 scanner in the new environment allow at least
one hour for temperature adaptation.
What does “temperature adaptation” means?
A fast change from cold to warm environmental conditions can build up
condensation inside the housing. This will result in unfavorable scanned
images and could cause permanent damages to the unit.
Operation Manual Page 21
A.4.2 Ambient Light
The Bookeye® 4 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 inf luence the scan result negative.
The Bookeye
system means that the ambient light is added to the light seen by the camera.
Summary of a recommended location for a Bookeye
• 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.
®
4 scanner is an open system with a built-in high quality light source. Open
®
4 scanner:
Direct sunlight will vary over the day and will result in overexposed images. Sunlig ht 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.
Page 22 Operation Manual
A.5 Content on Delivery
The scanner is delivered in a wooden transport box. The transport box also contains
• A folder with four CSTT-2 reference targets
• Three White Reference targets BE4-WA-V1-A

• Recovery Key with instructions
• External power supply with power cable
Please note: Keep the wooden transport box for future use! If the scanner needs to be
returned to depot, it must be sent back in the or iginal transport box to avoid
transport damages.
A.6 Maintenance
Important: Ensure that no liquids will penetrate into the device housing.
A.6.1 Touchscreen

A.13 Glass Plate Operating Modes
The Bookeye® 4 scanner has two operation modes for the glass plate:
• Manual mode
• Automatic mode.
A.13.1 Setting the Operation Modes
The scanner starts with the operation mode which was set before it was powered-down.
To toggle between the modes, pr ess and hold the Cradle Lock button (Picture 11) until
the Cradle Up and Cradle Down buttons blink.
Picture 12: Setting the book cradle mode
If both buttons blink in blue, the operation mode is set to automatic operation.
If both buttons blink in red, the operation mode is set to manual operation.
The current setting is also shown briefly (for approximately two seconds) on the
If the operation mode is set to automatic operation, the scan sequence starts
automatically when the glass plate is closed. In the setup level User a delay between
closing the glass plate and scan start can be defined.
It is recommended to set the operation mode to manual mode, before starting a scan job.
Operation Manual Page 37
A.13.2 Manual Mode
While working with the Bookeye® 4 scanner in manual mode, the Cradle Lock button
only signalizes if the magnetic lock is activated (blue) or not (not illuminated).
The glass plate will be hold in closed position until
• a scan sequence is started and finished or
• the Cradle Lock button is pressed and the magnetic lock releases.
A.13.3 Automatic Mode
To increase productivity, the automatic mode is recommended.
Automatic mode differs from the manual mode in one point. After the glass plate is closed
and the magnetic lock is engaged, a scan sequence is triggered automatically with the
defined settings.
Position the document as described in chapter A.13.4.
To activate the automatic mode, press down and hold the Cradle Lock button until the
Cradle Down and Cradle Up buttons blink and illuminated in blue.
In automatic mode, the glass plate lock releases after each scan automatically and the
glass plate moves to the 45 degree position.
The delay before the scan sequence starts can be defined by the administrator in the
setup level User in the Scan2Net® user interface of the scanner.
A.13.3.1 Manual adjustment of the height of the book cradle plates
If the book cradle plates should be positioned at different heights, they can manually be
moved by pressing at one of the plates.
Picture 15: Pushing one side lifts other side simultaneously
Page 38 Operation Manual
A.13.4 Working with the Book Cradle Plates
The book cradles can be moved up and down by using the Cradle Up and Cradle Down
buttons.
Place the document, e.g. a book, on the cradle plates and open t he cradle plates until the
book spine can freely move between the book cradle plates.
Picture 16: Book cradle plates opened
When setting the height of the book cradle plates, the target is to have both sides of the
book on nearly the same height before closing the glass plate. Picture 16 shows an
example.
If the height between the left and the right side differs (see Picture 17), the height of the
book cradle plates can be moved manually.
Picture 17: Book prepositioned at book cradle
The plates of the book cradle move simultaneously in opposite directions. That means, if
one plate is lowered, then the other plate lifts automatically.
Operation Manual Page 39
Push the book cradle down manually until both sides of the document are at the same
height.
Picture 18: Lowering the book cradle
Activate the magnetic lock of the glass plate by pressing the Cradle Lock button. The
button is illuminated in blue
Move down the glass plate until the cradle lock engages.
When the cradle lock engages, you will hear a “click” sound and the Cradle Lock button
turns red.
Page 40 Operation Manual
If necessary, move the cradle plates up or down in s mall steps with the cont rol buttons to
optimize the document’s position below the glass plate.
Picture 19: Glass plate closed
The cradle lock has a limited force for security reasons.
After successfully adjusting the book cradle height and the appropriate pressure, the
cradles support the weight of the book. The cradle plates can now be rocked up and down
without the motor being involved.
While scanning, the glass plate holds the same pressure on the book with respect to the
glass plate, keeps the book height at the same level, and keeps the same distance
between the book and the camera.
Touch the Scan Now button on the touchscreen to start the scan sequence.
After scanning, the glass plate lock releases and the glass plate opens. It can be stopped
by the operator in the 45 degree position.
The only interaction necessary while scanning through the book is applying light manual
pressure on one of the book sides to keep it in equal distance to the glass plate. This is
not always required because when the glass plate is closed for the next scan, t he cradle
plates move automatically to a proper position.

A.14 The “Finger Removal” Functi o n
A.14.1 Position of Document
The Bookeye® 4 scanner offers a helpful function which detects fing ers at the margin of
books and eliminates them from the image. This is the “Finger Removal” function.
The following easy-to-understand requirements must be fulfilled to operate the
Bookeye
®
4 using the “Finger Removal” function properly:
• The book cradle can be set to “V” position or in flat position.
• Place the book as shown in Picture 19 or Picture 20 on the book cradle. Let a
small distance between the book’s bottom side and the lower margin of the book
cradle.
Please note: The following pictures show an earlier version of the Bookeye 4-V2 scanner housing.
Picture 20: Book at book cradle in flat position
Picture 21: Book at book cradle opened in “V” position
• The distance depends on the thickness of the book. The distance should be at
least the half of the thickness of the book.
• The book must be aligned parallel to the horizontal red laser line.
• The book fold area must be placed below the vertical red laser line.
Page 42 Operation Manual
A.14.2 Finger Positions
Another important criterion for a proper function of t he “Finger Removal” function is the
position of the fingers which hold the book in a flat position.
• The fingers must be positioned in a vertical area of max 1 inch = 25 mm width
measured from the book fan at each side of the book.
Picture 22: Correct finger position
Picture 21 shows the vertical area marked with blue lines at the left side and the right side
of the book.
The book fan area on each side is also marked.
• The fingers must be positioned with a distance of at least a third of the book side
length from the upper left corner of the book.
Picture 23: Minimum vertical distance
Holding the book at both sides with one or more fingers is also possible if the above
described criteria are kept.

A.14.3 Wrong Finger Positions
Some finger positions can cause malfunction of the “Finger Removal” function.
The following chapters show a few examples of wrong and correct finger positions.
A.14.3.1 Distance too small
The fingers should be positioned with distance to the text or to graphical elements in t he
document.
If the distance is too small, the “Finger Removal” function may not remove the fingers from
the image or the element (e.g. part of the text) will be removed together with the fingers.
Increase the distance between finger and text or picture.
A.14.3.2 Finger position too steep
When the book cradle plates are set to “V” position, the lamps may generate shadows
around the fingers if they held too steep.
Always place the fingers flat on the edge of the document.

A.14.3.3 Fingers hold too close to the margin of the document
When the fingers are hold too close to the document’s margin, they will not be removed
by the “Finger Removal” function.
Move the fingers in small steps from the edge of the document to the inside and repeat
the scan sequence.

A.14.4 Examples of Finger Removal
Some examples in the following chapter show the functionality of the “Finger Removal”
function. A requirement is that in the ScanWizard user interface or in the kiosk application
(see chapter B.3.1 and B.3.1.2) the scanner is set to Book Mode.
A.14.4.1 Book positioned at the book cradle
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: Book Fan
The setting „Finger Removal Mode: Book Fan“ cuts away the left and right book fan from
the resulting image and flattens the curvature of the book binding.
A.14.4.2 Single finger holds the book
Book Mode, Finger Removal Mode: On, Finger Removal Color: Auto
This setting corrects the resulting image as with the previous setting.
Additionally the finger contour will be detected. It is eliminated in the image and the finger
contour area is filled with a pattern and/or color.
The filling color is automatically taken from the area above and below the finger contour.

Note: The Finger Removal Color is defined in the ScanWizard user interface.
The book fan has been removed and the surrounding black area is reduced to a minimum.
The scan result shows in the lower left corner a part of the finge r .
The reason is that the analyzing algorithm detected at the left border of the image an area
of mixed pat t erns and colors. In this case, it is the register of the catalogue.
The finger at the lower left edge was interpreted as part of the register. For this reason the
finger removal was not executed.

A.15 The “Splitting” Function
Another useful function of the Bookeye® 4 scanner is the “Splitting” function.
This function splits the scanned document into two separate images. The left and the right
page of an opened book can be scanned in one sequence and subsequently be saved as
two images, or two sheets of paper can be scanned without interr uption and saved as two
separate images.
Another benefit is the combination of document mode Auto, format Crop and Deskew
and the “Splitting” function.
A.15.1 “Splitting” function wi t h two separate documents
Picture 23 shows as an example how single pages can be positioned at the book cradle
plates.
Please note: The following pictures show a former version of the Bookeye 4-V 2 scanner .
