angliagt Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Re-reading this post,I noticed that they came from Finley Brothers Datsun, in Crecent City.That's 1-1/2 hours from here.I'd forgotton that there was a dealership there (long gone). I bought a lot of manuals like that from a book store that was going out of business,just to save them.There were some old Corona,1200,etc. manuals.It was interesting to see the rare stuff that we didn't get over here. - Doug Quote Link to comment

Im still like 1/3 of the way threw the 710 FSM. scanning to PDF is invaluable cuz its out there for everyone and preserved like it should be. but god is it tedious hahaha Tedious is the word, also to not destroy the books I preview, crop, and then scan one side then repeat preview and crop and scan the other side upside down and flip the image later. The scanner will only do 600dpi and the grayscale contrast sucks (freeby all-in-one canon piece of crap). The scanner sits right next to my chair, so I've been throwing it on to scan while on the web, letting it scan and then go through and do the opposite page when it finishes. The sick thing is I'm actually looking forward to scanning more when I get home...fricking datsunitis :fu: My estimate is .5 years or so at a book or two a night to do the whole box non-destructively :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment

It would require no backing, but i could put that fat stack of pages on it, it would scan front & back pages. Probably take a day. Auto puts it into PDF for me, too. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 600 dpi is more than enough. The bulletins were printed at about 300 dpi. I don't know how you do it so quickly. I never finished the parts catalog, maybe got a 3rd done. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Fast scanners help too. My flatbed scanner does a page in like 1.5 seconds at 600dpi. Quote Link to comment

I never finished the parts catalog, maybe got a 3rd done. I've had a B210 for the last 13 years, I'm both patient and stubborn :rofl: Fast scanners help too. My flatbed scanner does a page in like 1.5 seconds at 600dpi. Actually the scanner sucks, at least 45 seconds per scan and I do a preview first to get the crop right. I just do other things while it scans, and occasionally load a new page. Quote Link to comment
