ABSTRACT:
A protective arrangement (20, 30), method and scanner that prevent scratching of a scanning surface (11) of a scanner (15). The protective arrangement can be removably mounted on the scanning surface so as to limit or reduce access area to the scanning surface. Further, the protective arrangement is positioned on the scanning surface in a manner that permits placement of an image to be scanned, such as a document or object, between the scanning surface and the protective arrangement. The protective arrangement can be in the form of bands (20a, 20b) and/or a planar grid structure (30) which can be removably attached to a body of the scanner. The protective arrangement can also define at least one opening that permits manipulation of the image to be scanned to a desired position on the scanning surface, while the image to be scanned is located between the protective arrangement and the scanning surface.
