Opening the scanner's lid and aiming it to something you want to make an image
of will result in a "PSEUDO-PINHOLEs" image. Sensors of the CCD are very small
(can you say pinhole) and very directional (can you say tunnels). The non-high
tech equivalent would be to make a pinhole camera with countless number of
pinholes side by side on an extremely thick metal plate (lets say 1/2" thick),
each pinhole will only capture 1 "image point" with virtually no overlapping.
This is a self portrait Pseudo-Pinhole image made by aiming my cheap/uncleaned
glass scanner to myself from a distance of about 15":
