If you happen to have two sheets of cardboard leftover from a notepad that are an exact match the edges of your paper, you are lucky. I couldn't find that, so I decided to use some leftover plywood.

I cut the plywood into two sheets 8-1/2 by 11 inches to match the paper size. Try to get the edges as square and straight as you can.

I have a hard time getting things square and precise. If you are part robot, this may be easier for you.
