The scanner was manufactured by the Canon Conpany. I do not remember the model number of the scanner. To make the back ground black. I worked in a darkend room with the lid of the scanner open. You could use a black cloth over the scanner if want to get the same affect.

Now that I have learned how to use a digital camera. I have the freedom to do so much more. With the help of PHOTOSHOP there is almost no limit to what I can do.

Good Luck
Sincerely
Thomas Mercer
