Hello,
I have recently come upon a collection of Byte Magazines from 1976
through to about 1986. It is not complete, that is I do not have every
issue across that time span. But the collection is pretty comprehensive.
I have a scanner with an auto document feeder. I'd like to scan this
material in and post it online as a collection of jpgs. However, to do
this well would require destroying the bindings of each magazine in order
to get a completely flat scan of each page.
Before you commit to destroying one or more bindings TO ACCOMMODATE
YOUR ADF, you might consider taking a *similar* magazine and
"processing it" first. Your ADF might not be kind to the pages
(magazines are printed on "different" paper than you would find
in, e.g., a textbook).
But even if you didn't use the ADF to scan the pages, it
is much easier and you get a better scan from a sheet of paper
then a page directly from a magazine - no "curl" near where the
spine is...
Cheers,
Bryan
