3 Set up scan profiles

An HP Smart Document Scan Software profile contains settings for scanning, processing, and saving or sending scanned documents. You can set up profiles for use with the Scan Document To button on the scanner front panel. The profiles provide a fast, efficient way to scan. You can configure each profile to perform specific scanning functions that you use often. For example, if you frequently need to scan originals at 200 dpi color to a searchable PDF file and e-mail that file to a co-worker, you can create a profile with the necessary settings to accomplish this task.

Use the HP Smart Document Scan Software to set up and modify profiles. Use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to assign profiles to quick start buttons and to choose which profiles are selectable from the scanner front panel.

NOTE: You can choose up to 30 profiles that are selectable from the scanner front panel. If you have more than 30 profiles, choose the most frequently used profiles. You can access all profiles by scanning from the HP Smart Document Scan Software.

For information on how to configure an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile to complete a scan without user interaction, see Scan with one button press.
