68 Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro

Saving settings

You can save and name a group of settings that you frequently use for a particular purpose and apply them to items you scan in the future. For example, if you routinely e-mail pictures to someone, you can save the settings including the output type, resolution, and dimensions that you always use. The settings are automatically applied when you scan a picture and choose the group of settings.

Saved settings override the default settings and any changes you made up to that point. Any changes you make after that point are preserved.

To save settings

1Make sure the scanned image whose settings you want to save is in the preview window and that you have adjusted any settings for the image.

2On the Scan menu, point to Settings, and click Save. The settings for the current scanned image appear.

3In the drop-down list at the bottom, type a name for these settings and click Save.
