That's a variation on an old secretary's trick: cover the reverse side of the paper you're copying with a piece of black paper. I must have learned that 50 years ago! Still works today--I do it all the time. --doug

Jepp. Strangely enough, my eons old "Vobis Highscreen PerfectScan" (aka "Microtek ScanMaker E6") Parallel-SCSI-Scanner has a black cover while my brand new "HP OfficeJep Pro 6970" has a white background. I also keep a sheet of black cardboard in case I need to scan a page from a magazine or such and put it behind the page to be scanned. Go figure ...

For ages, I thought that the people that designed the scanner would know more than me when they sold the thing with a white cover, so it took me years and years for me to try. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I do recall something in c't magazine that explicitly referred to the black cover being required to eliminate the back side printing to come through. Josef -- SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer
