I have been a card-carrying librarian since 1987, but I have been writing
computer programs since 1976. I became a librarian because I heard about the
“information explosion”, and I thought it would be a growth industry. —ELM

A couple questions:
The data is dumped into what type of file? Do you have an option?
And then how do you move that data into your ILS? (I know this is ILS dependent

I learned about Open Refine http://openrefine.org/ at the Code4Lib

Hello everyone and happy Monday
We had one of our MS800 get an E2 - 77 blinking error. Sometimes you turn
it off and leave it for a bit and goes away for some time.
It¹s not in the regular manual and can not seem to find the service manual
online for free. Most certainly a service code error.
http://www.helpowl.com/q/Canon/MS800/Technical-Support/code-e2-79-error-wrong/444269
here is some thing for an E2 79 error, I would imagine it might be a similar
code?
http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/scanners/800IM.pdf
the only manual I could find is the above and it says to contact
Definite cosign on Open Refine. It's intuitive and spreadsheet-like enough that
a lot of people can understand it. You can do anything from standardizing state
names you get from a patron form to normalizing metadata keywords for a
database, so I think it'd be useful even for non-techies.

Thanks Riley
That is all I found also and since the scanner does not have a paper tray

I guess I will have to sit on hold for a bit and see what Canon can give

I find when it comes to old equipment (as I have been a IT guy for 26

I'm a librarian, and a slightly poor excuse for a coder second. I've always
focussed on the IT/tech side of librarianship in my career and did at one point
