[78-L] Scanned a Cylinder Case

[Ron L'Herault]

The use of the high DPI to slow the scanner bar is a great tip.  It also allows for better image correction/editing if needs be, I imagine.

Yep, I rolled it down the scan bed as the light bar passed by.  Took several tries before I figured out I needed to scan at 600 dpi so the light bar would be slow enough for me to keep up with it.
Then I needed to place a piece of wood along the long edge of the scanner bed to act as a guide to keep me in a straight line as I rolled it along.  Then just roll the cylinder case along being sure to keep the contact point right on the light bar as it passes.  About 20 tries before I got a usable image.  Seems to be a dirt road way to do it, but it works!

 Finally figured out how to scan a cylinder case without smashing it flat.
