HP Smart Document Scan Software scan profiles

An HP Smart Document Scan Software scan profile contains settings for scanning, processing, and saving or sending scanned documents.

For example, if you plan to frequently scan documents from the automatic document feeder (ADF) and send the scans to a certain folder, you can create a scan profile with the necessary setting to accomplish this task. Then you can use the Button Settings Utility to assign that scan profile to one of the customizable buttons on the scanner. After assigning the scan profile to the customizable button, you can load the documents on the scanner and complete the scan job with the touch of a button.

For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software help.
