Using the Scan Toolbar
Contents
The Scan Toolbar provides quick access to all scan-related functions and settings. The Scan Toolbar also allows you to create scan profiles that can be used to quickly change between predefined settings for different document types, such as those for color photos, duplex documents, or single-sided black and white documents. All available scan settings can be saved with a scan profile.
Until the first scan profile is created, all scan settings will be saved to the "<Default>" scan profile. This profile will always exist and cannot be deleted. After one or more profiles are created, the designated scan profile will be stored at the case level, allowing you to retain case- or customer-specific scan settings. Changing cases will automatically restore the scan profile that was last used in the case.
Scan profiles are specific to a particular scanner model due to differences in the settings available for each scanner, for example, color modes, page size, and resolution. So although scan profiles can be shared between users if desired, they can only be shared by users on workstations with the same scanner model. A user or workstation with one scanner model will not be able to see shared profiles for a user or workstation with a different scanner model.
