Doug - from Richard Romano, "The Scanning Workshop", Que Books, 2002:
" . . . there are a few issues with regard to placement that you you need to worry about. The first is that the scanner must be on a flat, level, sturdy surface. ... Placing it on a bed or chair or rickety table is bad juju. . . . Jarring the device is not good for it, and the optics can get damaged or jolted out of alignment. So be sure to place it where it won't be tripped over or walked into. . . .Basically, we're talking the same consideration as any other electronic device . . . or your computer itself." Looking forward to hearing more about your learning process. Your missive was quite instructive.
