how do I define an original template?

1. Press the Copy tab.

2. Set the copy mode to Color or B&W.

3. Press the Type of original button to open the Type of original (template) menu.

4. Use the Tool button to open the Type of original Setup dialog.

If a preview of the copy is currently loaded, the Type of original Setup dialog will start up with the Image Filter Preview and split screen for on-line assessment of your change's effects.

5. After having made your settings and ensuring that they work well with the current original, press the New button.

For information on template settings, see:

...tell me about original template settings

The top preview panel illustrates changes to the image after modifying your template settings.

6. Enter the name for your new template. Select a name that represents the type of copy job you are working with, such as "Fruit Photos".

7. Press the Save button to create the new Type of Original template.

Your new Type of Original template will be added to the list of those already available. You can start with one of the predefined Type of Original presets that is closest to your original, save it under a new name and then change it to fit your specific needs. Use the preview to test your settings.

If you have changed your settings for the current Type of Original template pressing the OK button will accept the values but they will only be used for the current copy job. The next time you call up the template, it will have regained its old settings.

8. Press the Save button when you are finished.

9. Press OK to confirm.
