your local printer, who has the right guillotine).
Heck, I would settle for a decent camera on a tripod and a well lit
flat surface you can drape the printout over, then take a video as the
source scrolls by.
OK, maybe that is worst case, but isn't there an easy solution that
does not include cutting anything (those fanfold binder covers can be
easily dis/re-assembled.)
Yes, there's always SOME way to avoid it, but obviously significantly
more work. Just depends what the priorities are... Preserving fanfold
seems like a strange priority, wouldn't it be more practical bound
book-like anyway?
Or, similar to your suggestion, load it into a compatible printer (so
that it can be sprocket fed), with some kind of takeup spool, then form
feed pages through, snapping each one between feeds.

It's a few inches thick, I'll dig it out and post sample code photos from
it, somewhere.
That would be wonderful, but I would really like to bring that
software back to life again. Does anyone know of an inexpensive and
non-labor intensive solution to this? I imagine a fanfold printout
should be fairly easy to scan given the proper scanner. I don't know
how or if the scanner should be taken to Alec's printout or
visa-versa.
