Michael, that doesn't solve the problem. What if you want to load a check into your printer. Can KNFB Reader tell you whether you are putting it in correctly? What if you want to assemble a group of pages and get their orientation correct for mailing? Can the KNFB reader do that? Thanks so much.

The KNFB Reader will figure out how many degrees a sheet is rotated so if it's 180 degress, that'd be upside down. It compensates for orientation automatically. As long as you get all four edges of a page in the picture, you're off to the races. On 5/16/16, Paul Hunt <prhu...@att.net> wrote: > Hello everybody.
