If you scan the other side, then a blank white paper should appear. Otherwise, nice teaser.
hahahahah I think we have all done that at least once!
I've NEVER done that I got it wrong so it was good!
The scanner wasn't connected to the computer.
Then something still shows up: a blank white screen.
On our scanner you can print directly, nothing appears on the screen and the printer just prints it. I thought he was doing this.
Why are you lot being mean to the creator of this riddle, it got accepted to braingle so it must be good so leave him/her alone man
how stupid (not the teaser, the man)
He must be a student at IU.
Or, the picture was drawn in white ink on white paper, lol.
OR, the scanner or computer was unplugged. Yes, he said the equipment was working fine, but technically that is what it's supposed to do if it's unplugged. So it's human error, not malfunctioning.
ORRR, he was first "scanning" the picture carefully, over and over, with his eyes, to make sure it was exactly how he wanted it before paying for all those copies. ;)

That was a very easy one, but very good as well.
Or after scanning, he looked at the wrong screen.
