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

  <p>
    You scan in your target file and save it as an uncompressed TIFF file.
    You can then click <gui>Calibrate…</gui> from
    <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq> to
    create a profile for the device.
  </p>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>
      Scanner devices are incredibly stable over time and temperature
      and do not usually need to be recalibrated.
