Having no previous scanning skill other than putting the paper in and pressing scan...this exercise has been an interesting one. After the failure in uni scanners last week...I scanned the required images at home.
I will never understand it until someone sits down and talks me through the temperaments of scanners, but each scan can prove a different results. I have a Pixma MP800 at home, which is a very helpful machine involving easy scanning (by pressing one button) and a copyier and printer included. However while scanning the image of my DDS drawings (as can be seen below), the first attempt turned out well yet slanted, and the 2nd left me with a singluar section of the page. Needing the whole page, this was a frustration as it kept doing the same thing. After scanning the same page several times it finally gave me a whole page scan...without me changing any of the settings. Two things can be deducted from this experience
#1 I have no control over my scanner's results (unless I delve deep into the instruction manual)
and
#2 The scanner it self must be a very emotional, moody, unreliable old woman.
First scan (similiar to what the rest dud ones looked like)
The printer i have at home does not have a descreen button so i am still yet to see the difference in a scan while using it.
