Default Calibration card for Polaroid Photopad or Easyphoto (or any) printscanner

Greetings:

In order to complete the Windows Twain software install for
the Photopad/Easyphoto print scanner, a calibration card
is needed. These are unobtainium; if anyone has one and
would scan it (or any calibration card for any small footprint
photo print scanner) please let me know. Without the card,
registering the twain data source in Windows will be a major
undertaking. A facsimile of the original card or one that
will fool the installer is all that is needed.

Regards,

Michael

If you search Google for "Calibration card scanner" without the quotes you
will get a few hits.

May be this will work:

Thanks for your reply; I do have some AGFA scanner calibration standards
but these aren't useful for this problem, nor would the item sold in
the link that you provided. The Polaroid installation software relies
on the small calibration card which no doubt has registration marks,
bar codes or other positional information as well as calibration data.
I would like to try fooling the installer by using a scanned copy of
the original card, if anyone would be willing to scan their card ;-)

Regards,

Michael
