Can anyone give me any recommended "Vue Scan Professional" settings (I own the Full Professional Licence!) for reclaiming a manual quite badly affected by damp and black mould spots ? – Does V.S.P. have scan settings that can help with this project?

Every page of the Manual will have to be scanned and the original mould–affected paper one discarded – this was how it arrived from the seller and getting a replacement is virtually impossible – It's for an "MTL Systems Inc. Video Pattern Generator 2602A" I have that was acquired three years ago, and the Seller only found the book last week, unfortunately it seems where he kept it isn't the best environment for valuable documents like this!

PS!

To borrow a phrase from Member "WME Bill", it's a "Beast of a manual!" running to over 350 pages thick!
