Precautions While Scanning A Picture
Here are some precautions you must take when scanning a picture. You must never, never open the lid of the scanner when it is scanning. This can cause hardware malfunction, which cannot be repaired. Wait for the scan to happen, and if you think it is bad, simply delete the file and scan again. Another precaution - never put any hard tools on the scanner bed that might scratch the surface. If your scanner surface gets scarred, it will show up in all the pictures.
