From Wiki
Regardless of the differences, a good practice at the start of each digitization session is to digitize a reference item (document, photograph, short sample audio or video) with the result reviewed against specifications as a form of ad hoc quality control. In case of any discrepancy from the digitization specifications, equipment can be checked and its set-up fine-tuned. This will help avoid wasting entire sessions of work due to equipment or set-up issues.
