Some Tips on Positioning Your Business Cards on the Scanner

You can obtain better quality scans and reduce the scanning and capture times simply by correctly positioning your cards on the scanner. Be sure to observe the following three simple rules:

Position all the cards identically, i.e. use either portrait or landscape orientation for all of your cards.
Position the cards evenly. Data on skewed images take much longer to capture. Capture errors are also more likely on skewed images.
If a flatbed scanner is used, scanning quality can be improved by introducing a contrasting background. This may be achieved by placing a sheet of dark paper on the business cards or keeping the lid of the scanner open.
