If you want to forgo the scanner altogether, try using a camera and snapter...Snapter - "Goodbye, scanner. Hello, digital camera." It will output TIFF's if that's what you need.

You have to understand the engineering scanner isnt that new itself...there is no option to scan in color, my options are blueprint, black and white, pencil, sepia and mylar. My main problem are the ones that were drawn way back when and then put on that god awful sepia paper, they require the most work and cause the most headaches.
