Is there much harm done to yourself because i had to scan a dictionary page but the scanner lid didn't close so i was sort of exposed. Uh actually, does a scanner EVEN emit radiation at all or just very little? Can anyone help me out? Thanks.
 
Of course they emit radiation. The radiation scanners emit is known as light ;)

You are fine, if it had anything dangerous there would be a big red sticker on it somewhere with crossbones on it.
