A scanning profile contains information about scanning hardware. You associate a scanning profile with a capture profile. To create a profile for a scanning device, complete the following steps.

1. On the Perceptive Content toolbar, click Settings > Options.
2. In the ImageNow Options dialog box, perform the following substeps.
   1. In the left pane, click Capture.
   2. On the General tab, under Scanning Profiles, click Manage Profile List.
3. In the Scanning Profile Manager dialog box, click Create.
4. In the Scanning Profile dialog box, on the General tab, perform the following substeps.
   1. In the Name box, type a unique profile name.
   2. In the Description box, type a short profile description.
   3. In the Device box, select a scanning device.
      Depending on the type of driver you selected for the scanning device, the Scanning Profile dialog box will display different tabs. Kofax drivers use General, Properties, Advanced, and Options tabs. Other drivers use General, Properties, and Image Processing tabs.
5. On the Properties tab, under Properties, choose the options you want.
6. Optional. If you are working with a flatbed scanner, under Flatbed Settings, choose the options you want. If your scanner does not support flatbed scanning, then the Flatbed Settings options are dimmed and unavailable.
7. When using Kofax drivers, on the Advanced tab, under Options, choose one or more of the following options.
   • In the Prescan box, specify the number of pages to be cached by the Kofax Accelerator.
   • In the Timeout box, specify the time in seconds before the scanning process will stop after the last page is scanned.
   • To delete blank pages from the scanning process by using a more advanced comparison, select the Calculate Blank Page Deletion check box.
   • Click Advanced, and then choose the options you want. These vary based on the device you have installed.
   • Click Units, and then specify what units of measurement you want for the current profile.
8. When using Kofax drivers, on the Options tab, choose the options you want in order to scan part of a document, not all of it. If your scanning device supports duplex scanning, then you can specify a picking rectangle for both front and back pages.
9. On the Image Processing tab, select a filter and add it to the Selected Filters pane. Once added, you can configure the filter, move it up or down, or remove it.
   The order in which the filters appear in the Selected Filters pane determines at what point during the image processing Perceptive Content performs the filter action. For example, if you added the Threshold filter to convert an image to black and white and the Dilation filter to expanding the area of black objects in an image, you would need to ensure that the Threshold filter appears above the Dilation filter in the Selected Filters pane.
10. Click OK to return to the Perceptive Content toolbar.
