ABSTRACT:
A guide apparatus for a hand-held image scanner has a working surface with a longitudinal straight edge against which a brace for the scanner smoothly slides. A gap in the longitudinal member allows materials to be scanned to be slid through the longitudinal member onto or off of the working surface. A transverse alignment portion is perpendicular to the longitudinal member and allows a subject to be aligned on the working surface prior to scanning. Once the subject is aligned, the hand-scanner is placed in the scanner brace and a column of the subject is scanned by moving the scanner with the scanner brace along the straight edge of the longitudinal member.
