Super detailed duplex scanner guide for sports cards on this platform, must watch for anyone trying to figure out configurations and settings. This helped me tweak my settings. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am grateful that you took the time to post this and am always here if you need any help. Have an awesome day and God Bless.
So sorry but due to the hurricane damage and complete insanity, I have been away from comments etc. Thank you so much for your support! Glad it all worked out for you
Good stuff! Just fixed a Fi-8170 to catolog my son's baseball cards we have been collecting together, and maybe to sell some of them on eBay to show him how business works. I saw you have another video on how to fix the mechanism in the scanner to make it not make stripes in the gloss. Good stuff, keep up the good work!
Otis - Thank for taking the time to put this together. Got my fi-8170 and let you take me through the process step by step. It was perfect. Much appreciated.
This was awesome! You did a great job! I have a fi-7160 that m just learning how to setup and it helped me big time! Now the closet full of cards is about to get scanned! THANKS!
So glad I could help. I know what you mean about the closet of cards. I am in the same boat..its sinking....BIG TIME!! Have fun..let me know if you need anything!
Any idea on how to solve an issue I’m having? My machine is jamming when i scan using card savers. The very first batch i created was with card savers and i had no issue. For some reason, last night, I can’t one through without it jamming.
Thank you for the video. I'm having an issue hopefully you can help. When I save the scans to my desktop folder it shows the back card first and the front card second. I sort by ascending which then switches them but when I upload them to card dealer pro they are uploaded back first front second. Any ideas on how to fix this?
yes, this is due to the naming of the card. If you are using the F and B option for Front and Back, B will come first. I created a video that shows you how to fix this by using advanced renamer. This worked perfect for me. this is part 1 ua-cam.com/video/fXxadOIhIb8/v-deo.html and this is part 2 ua-cam.com/video/N0nVfyDYxxs/v-deo.htmlsi=jUo6XkRIZw6daQ_Z
@@maxwaxpax Thank you very much for your response. I actually fixed it this morning. What I was doing to save time was I was creating multiple folders on my desktop and saving batches of 50 at a time in each folder. When I deleted my folders, and saved my scans in their folder it went back to normal.
Thanks allot for the video 👍 A quick question how does it work with Pokemon? Regarding the Pokemon back logo? Do you have any suggestions or recommendations how to set it up? Or should that settings work as you just showed? I just bought the scanner I don’t know how to use it.
So sorry but due to the hurricane damage and complete insanity, I have been away from comments etc.I am sure you have found your answer by now, but in case you still have questions about this, I have scanned thousands of pokemon cards and once I changed the piece to the one that we created (to stop indentation issues) it was awesome!
Really appreciate this video. Would you be willing to do a video for the Mac OS setup? It appears PaperStream isn't available and it runs through Image Capture? Is there a work around, or a way to setup folders in a similar fashion for Mac OS as you did in the video?
Hey, i'm struggling with the same issues...any luck figuring this out? Was super excited watching the video and now struggling once again with the Mac setup... :(
@@kenneth920 I ended up switching over to a PC. Might not be an option for everyone, but it eliminated all the issues. Also, I reached out to him on IG about some other scanner questions and he got back to me immediately. Super helpful. Maybe hit him up there.
Hello this is such a great video for the new user of the Fi-8170 or similar for trading cards load. I have a question regarding a white tin line streak going across some o the scans for 1962 topps that have the sleeve on them, do you know the cause of that. I have scan them without the sleeve and came out so far fine., but am weary about do that with other cards that are high gloss type to create some roller/wear line on them. I have removed the roller that was inside as you instructed and have been scanning them sideways with sleeves and without sleeves. Tested them both ways. Just if you know why thin line streaks occurs, some go all the way across and some at at the edges but at about same area. Thanks, Gabe
Love this technology and using with Kronozio. Cutting my workload by at least 80% in listing cards. However, if I remove the rollers on my 8170, there’s a little plastic guide that leaves a groove in my cards, even through the ultra pro penny sleeves. It’s so frustrating. No damage happens with the rollers, even to chrome cards, but a pain to remove sleeves and then resleeve.
Awesome video, I just wish my new scanner would stop jamming. It wont let a single card through. Nothing is working. I'm pretty broken up after spending so much money.
This video helped me out alot when setting up the fi-8040 for scanning sports cards. Problem I have is when I have doubles it either says rename or will actually scan 2 of same card. Other than that I’d still be trying to figure out all the settings without the video. Ty
Hi. I’m wondering why people use penny sleeves. Is it really OK to do raw? Is it just for convenience to not have to take the sleeve off and put back on the card or is it for safety to not damage the card? Thanks.
No. There are a few reasons. First, it is to protect the card. There is no doubt that the penny sleeve does add an additional layer of protection should you experience roller issues or other feed issues that could damage corners etc. However, the most important IMO, is because the cards slide through the scanner much easier and in uniform. For example, if you were to grab some new upper deck cards, you would most likely pull your hair out trying to scan them without penny sleeves because the gloss sticks and causes the cards to feed in a clump - thus causing the scanner to jam. I have scanned with and without and I choose not to scan without due to the fact that the cards seem to feed a ton better when they are all in the same penny sleeve.
@@maxwaxpax I appreciate this response. I actually was getting marks on the raw cards with the roller out and then I put the roller back in and the marks went away. I prefer raw because I'm only doing one card at a time but also I did use a penny sleeve and it bunched up so I figure why go that way.
I have a roller print line when scanning my cards in penny sleeves I followed all your setup instructions for the fi 8170, great instructional video By the way.... everything was good until all of sudden the the lines started to appear. But you can't see any lines on card or penny sleeve after it has been scanned. I tried multiple cards on different years. I've scanned all 1970 -79 cards so far. I am out of ideas to solve problem. I can't be only one with this issue. Can you help?? Regards, Dj Wisniewski
Scanning sideways still causes back to scan upside down on some cards. Look at Michael Fratello card at 25:19. So you will still have to subsequently rotate cards
Good stuff. I have the FI-8170 and did the sideways scan. The front of the card is rotated but the back is upside down. Any suggestions on how to correct it?
Hi, nice video... do you know how to get paperstream to recognize older cards with the dark back side? Like a dark red or green? I cannot find how to scan them.. or how to make paperstream scan both side regardless of coloring, etc? thanks
Here I did this quick video showing you how this works with the Image Capture program that comes with the mac for free! ua-cam.com/video/csLSuz9f71c/v-deo.html
My 8170 scans great on up and down. But when I file it's all back first then front. Not f/b and when I try to scan sideways it will not turn 90 degrees so either the front is upside down or the back. And new it making a noise. But when I transfer those cards to my file it's still all back then the front starts. I don't know if it's broken or what. Have you ever heard of this?.
sorry it took me so long to reply. Yes this is normal. It is not an issue but rather an adjustment to make. This is why I use a free rename took to put the cards in the right order. I change the names from f and b to a and b. Then the A (which was the F) is put in front of the B. Would you like a short video on how to do this?
