Hello Rob,
Thank you very much for saving me the time & money to mess with that idea.
As a follow-up, is there a scanner with light-lid that stands above the
rest?
Thanks!
Herb

The only sort of thing I'm aware of which does this is a purpose built
light-lid.
If the scanner model doesn't have one as an option, you can't do it. I've
tried various kludges, but nothing works well. Essentially you need a
scanner
which is built for the job.
