I have the paper manual here somewhere. It's

may be a pain to scan. It's about time for someone to make an
"open book scanner", one with a wedge of glass that you can
drop the book onto. I don't want this binding opened 180? flat.
One company (I can't remember who) makes a book scanner that
has an option to correct for the curvature of the gutter of
a book that isn't fully flattened. I don't even remember
whether they did it optically (which would be a matter of
both focus AND distortion), or whether it is done digitally,
(digitally correcting the distortion, but relying on depth of focus).
