The point to remember is that you are creating a tall narrow box and that the side with the camera hole is on the top of the device. This side with the camera hole is one of the small sides and is as far as I can tell the only side with a hole.
The resulting box created is taller than it is wide . Imagine a post office box or a shoe box which is standing up on its end with the lid off leaving it open. The camera is resting on the side uppermost of the shoe box. The magnets fits together, an obvious point which eluded me at first. The triangular flap fold in sections start from the top and taper back downwards towards the bottom of the device. So start from the small side which has the camera hole, this has to be on top and then the rest should logically follow.

I think I understand your description, but hesitate to fold or shape something in a manner that it wasn't intended. So, I have my Standscand pro folded. I'm not sure that its folded exactly as it came out of the box but think so. So we have a little flap which appears to make a magnetic seal. The cable is at the bottom right. So, first step is To place the small flap in front of me on a table and flip it up. Next, I open the box downward. There are now three rows as follows: 1. The little flap, which is now pointing up. 2. one section which is only a piece of cardboard thick. 3. Four pieces of cardboard folded over. The top one can unfold to the left, and the other two would fold out to the right. Now, the bottom left section appears to have six magnets. Three are on the top row, and three are on the left side. Just below the top magnet on the left is a tiny half circle cut into the side. I can see creases, but know that the moment I do any folding, it will permanently change the beast. Perhaps you can confirm that we're on the same page so far, and if you could offer any more pointers? Thanks again and best regards.

Yes, it's flimsy, but it folds flat, weighs next to nothing, and works great with my iPhone 5. I've tested the StandScan Pro with a double-page from a pretty complexe book using Prizmo in English with brilliant results. It was virtually perfect apart from the page headings which are in italics and came out as garbage. I tried scanning a rectangular box containing a deodorant spray, and TextGrabber read the information almost perfectly, whereas Prizmo failed at this task. This time, I was using French. Yesterday, I demonstrated the StandScan Pro to an IT teacher I was training in VoiceOver and the Mac. He gave me a flyer to scan and the result was perfect using TextGrabber. He was so impressed that he called in some colleagues to see this amazing thing! So, yes, you have to be careful with the StandScan Pro as it can easily be damaged, but it isn't a replacement for a flatbed scanner, it's a tool to carry around in a backpack for those occasions when you really have to get the information from a printed source quickly. Below my signature, I'll paste in my description of how to set up a StandScan Pro. By the Way, it ships with a 9 V battery holder and you can purchase a 12 V mains adaptor. You really need the 12 V for good results, but you can also add a battery holder for 8 AA batteries, giving a 12 V output. The StandScan Pro plus mains adaptor comes to something under $35 which isn't a lot to spend for such good results. Cheers, Anne Lay the folded StandScan on a table with the small flap away from you. Open the small flap and fold back the body of the StandScan towards you. Now the topmost piece should open to the left, and the remaining part will open to the right but will still be a double thickness. Open the final piece to the right. Go to the lefthand piece and you'll find that there is a crease running from where it joins the second piece to the lefthand edge, a few centimetres in. Fold along this crease making an elongated triangle. The same thing can be found on the back edge of the same piece, and on the front and back edges of the third section. The piece at the extreme right is the top and you can find the LEDs along its back edge, and the cable at its back left corner. Lift the righthand section and lift the lefthand section, then fold over the flap at the end of the section with the LEDs so that the magnets meet the magnets on the lefthand section. A flap of the top section folds down to engage with the magnets on the triangular pieces, and the piece still lying flat at the back lifts up to meet the top and the triangular side pieces at the back. Your StandScan should now look like a large box with an open front and a short cable coming out of the upper back lefthand corner. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
