<title>How do I calibrate my scanner?</title>
<comment>

<p>We should explain what a colour chart/calibration target is.</p>
</comment>
<p>If you want your scanner to represent the color accurately in scans, you
should calibrate it.</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Make sure your scanner is connected to your computer with a cable or
over the network.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Scan your calibration target and save it as an uncompressed TIFF
file.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
start typing <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click on <gui>Settings</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui>Color</gui> in the sidebar to open the panel.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select your scanner.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press <gui style="button">Calibrate…</gui> to commence the
calibration.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>Scanner devices are incredibly stable over time and temperature, so do
not usually need to be recalibrated.</p>
