Scanner profiles, which describe configuration settings for a scanner, can be created for your scanner or scanners and can include multiple profiles for the same scanner.
Example: For example, if some of the documents you scan are legal size and others are letter size, you can save two profiles for your scanner, one that scans to a legal page size and another that scans to a letter page size (assuming your scanner supports these page sizes). Scanner profiles can be used with different document types.
Before you select a scanner to use with Alchemy Scan, make sure that you first::Connect the scanner and install the driver for the scanner; Turn on your scanner before you turn on your computer; If you switch scanners while the computer is on restart the computer before you attempt to scan; Verify that no devices conflict with one another in the Windows device manager and Verify that the SCSI or video interface card is properly installed.
Scanner Profiles
In the left pane, click Scanner Profiles then select New to display a blank scanner profile. Or, select an existing scanner profile in the left pane and click Copy to create a new scanner profile with the same settings as the selected profile.
In the Scanner Profile Name box, type a name for the new profile.
In the Description box, type a description of the new profile. If you have set up a scanner for your computer, subsequently disconnected it and added a different scanner, and then attempted to scan multiple document types, Alchemy Scan will look for the old scanner when trying to scan the first document type separator page.
To point it to the correct scanner, select the Active Scanner Profile check box on a scanner profile that is being used in the batch.
