Hello tony,
I have found those types of scanner errors have been caused by dirt of some
kind on the scanning heads. I am rather new at scanning so still learning by
trial and error. At times a little more error:)
I have gone ahead and scanned in a few of my early scans again and I have
found most of those type errors disappeared.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Credit for someone
Hi all. If someone has lots of time and patience, I have an opportunity
for someone to get some extra credit. I think it would qualify as
submission credit but someone correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the deal. I
am currently validating The Greek Coffin Mystery by Ellery Queen. The book
is complete and for the most part the scan is fine. However, there are
lots of junk characters and generally annoying scanning errors. I honestly
don't feel like fixing all of them. I will fix some, like "jn" for in,
"tp" for to, "bis" for his, etc. Technically no spell checking is required
for a book to be considered validated. So, once it hits the new books
page, some mystery fan can grab it and fix all the errors. Since I think
this would count as a new submission, they would get the usual submit
credit. Since I didn't scan it and am only the validator, I only get the
validation credit, so someone will get a good deal out of this. Frankly
for only 50 cents it isn't worth my time to bother trying to fix the many
scanning errors. I am planning to mark the quality as good. If anyone is
interested, watch the new books page for it. It should show up soon
hopefully. I will probably upload it in a few hours so it should show up
in a few days. I have an Agatha Christie novel to upload also in excellent
quality.
