How to Control the Page Turner
The user uses a four-button switch or a joystick to manipulate a mechanically driven rubber roller through four simple moves to complete the page turning
Move the roller to the right across the document to a point of sufficient roller grip.
Roller positioning varies depending on the overall page size, thickness and texture. The user quickly learns to "play the roller" in small increments in all four movements to achieve the desired results. It is this ability to "manually" manipulate the roller that helps the user work out common turning problems such as sticking or mis-angled pages. Repeated subtle roller movement in directions opposite to the desired end result often helps create air pockets between pages to eventually free them for proper turning.
Clockwise roller rotation to "scoop" or pull a single page forward until it actually flips forward of the roller.
Counter-clockwise roller rotation to flatten the underside pages so they are not inadvertently creased or folded during the next step.
Move the roller to the left across the document until the page is completely turned. Generally, the roller is then brought back to the centre of the document to clear the page being read.
Normally, the roller is returned to the centre margin for reading the pages on either side. If the centre margin is narrow and the roller obscures the print, move the roller to the opposite page of the one being read.
