To create a new profile  
 
If you usually scan images with the same settings, you can define a scan profile to save the settings you have configured.  
 
1.Load the document(s) into the ADF.  
2.Configure the settings. Scan an image to make sure the current settings meet your needs.  
3.Enter a name or description for this new profile in the white area beside the word Profile.  
4.Click the Save button.  
 
(To save your time in configuring the settings, alternatively you may select a scan profile whose settings are closest to your needs from the drop-down list of Profile.)  
 
A new profile is now created! Next time when you want to scan similar documents and apply the same settings, you can just select this profile from the drop-down list and then click the Scan button.  
 
 
  
To use an existing profile  
 
1. Load the document(s) into the ADF.  
2. Select a scan profile from the drop-down list of Profile. Scan settings defined under this profile are loaded and displayed on the TWAIN interface.  
3. Click the Scan button.  
4. The image(s) will be scanned with the preconfigured settings. No need to spend extra time in configuring the scan settings.  
 
 
  
To edit an existing profile

2.From the drop-down list of Profile, select the scan profile you want to edit.  
3.Configure the settings. Scan an image to make sure the current settings meet your needs.  
4.Enter the original profile name in the white area beside the word Profile.  
Note: Do not select this original profile name from the drop-down list of Profile. Doing so will load the original settings to overwrite what you have just configured.
