[Seville Allen]

I held the camera about six to eight inches away.  Took a picture, turned
the can and took another picture, did that about three times.  To do it, I
placed the reader with the reset side down on the table, with the camera
lens facing the can which was standing like it would on a shelf.  
And, yes, I took a picture of the can where the paper goes around.  Another
way one could read a can label, is to take the label off  the can, flatten
it, read it and   then replace it using a rubberband if you don't use the
contents of the can and want someone else to know what it is. 
Some day, opening "guess what" will be history thanks to this reader.

How far away did you hold the can, and did you take a picture of the side of

the can?
