Basically I was trying to use the scan function, wasn't working, ran a test print to figure out what was wrong, turns out, it doesn't have a scan function, just manual feed, so what I had actually done was put his birth certificate into the manual feed slot and printed test junk on his birth certificate, you can still see the information but now there's a lot of thin microtext overlayed on his birth certificate. Im mortified, my dad said it was fine but now he has to get a new one because of me. im going to pay the fees involved but that just doesn't make me feel any better. Its so bad I wanna cry.
I did look up if it was possible to remove the printed stuff, but I stopped myself from trying to remove the ink off a document that already had the information printed in the first place, which would probably mean that id end up erasing the stuff I didnt want erased.
TL;DR: printed over my dads birth certificate, ruining it, currently looking at nearest overpasses out of shame.
