[78-L] Label scanning

[Milan Milovanovic]

Nor do I! Unfortunately very few of them are without that annoying lip! 
About five years ago I saw HP scanner units in so called multifunctional 
units (scanner, copier and printer) where plastic surface is aligned with 
glass surface. Also the same occurred in early pro scanner standalone units 
such as "4" prefix models...
