Your foot. How the heck do you do that? Do you have the scanner on the floor?

I find it easiest to use my foot, but obviously only with my own books. *grin*

For those who, like myself, find it painful to scan because of the
necessity of pressing the book flat against the scanner glass, here is
a tip that might help. Don't use your hand! That's right--you're
concentrating a relatively high amount of pressure over a relatively
small space, & that, in any language, spells trouble. Instead, use
the fleshy part of your upper arm, or simply your whole forearm, to
hold down the book. You're concentrating the same pressure over a
much wider area, & an area more substantial than the palm at that,
thereby reducing the strain on the muscles, tendons, & ligaments, &
ultimately on u!
Happy scanning!
