2.3.1.1 Type of original (1.2) 
 
Since there are many settings which are used for image enhancement and color 
management, templates (or groups of settings) are provided through the type of 
original setting in order to ease this task. It consists of the definition of archetypes of 
different originals to which specific settings’ values have been associated. Depending 
on whether you are trying to scan in B&W or Color,...

section 2.2, is enough to obtain a good scan and, subsequently, a good print. 
 
A description of when each type of original should be used is provided in the following

similar bluish background and foreground.

original the output would be very noisy 
and it would be hard to distinguish the 
lines. 
This “type of original” setting includes a 
process to clean the background in order 
to make the output clearer.  
Sepia 
This option uses the same principles as 
Blueprint but it is designed for...
