Abstract
Systems are disclosed for detecting an unwanted artifact in an image scanner. An exemplary system includes a treated component of the image scanner, the treated component treated such that light reflects differently from the treated component than light reflected by an image being scanned by the image scanner. The light reflected from the treated component facilitates detection and removal of the unwanted artifact in the image being scanned, the unwanted artifact caused by the light reflected by the treated component.
