2 Set up 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. 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, create a PDF file, and save the file in a folder named Archives within a folder named 2005, you can create a profile with the necessary settings to accomplish this task.

Use HP Smart Document Scan Software to set up and modify profiles. Use the Button Settings Utility to assign a number to each profile. After you have set up a profile, you can use the same settings simply by selecting the profile in the LCD of the front panel.
