[78-L] Label scanning

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I still can't figure out why scanner manufacturers put that little lip 
on there. Maybe it's to protect the glass?? In any case, I cut a 12" 
cardboard record spacer down to precisely fit the glass inside the lip 
and then cut a hole in the center about 5" x 7" (arbitrary - you can 
make the hole as large as you need to) so I have a nice, flat surface to 
lay the record on when making label copies. You shouldn't close the lid! 
The scan will still be slightly out of focus but I see no way around 
that other than an oversized scanner (and even most of those won't take 
a 12" album cover!).
Unless, of course, someone here knows of a normal sized unit with no lip.
