1. A method of using a scanner to copy a document containing an original image and an embossment, the method comprising: first scanning a front face of the document from which the original image is visible to form a first image, wherein the first scanning is conducted with a sensitivity such that the embossment is essentially not visible in the first image; increasing a sensitivity of the scanner; second scanning the document to create a second image, wherein the second scanning is a scanning of a reverse face of the document and the second image includes a mirror image of the embossment, and wherein the embossment is visible in the second image; and combining the first and second images so as to obtain a reproduction image of the original image containing the embossment.
