Available settings depend on the selected scanner. Scanner settings include such options as resolution, paper size, timeout, duplex, Auto Document Feeder (ADF), and contrast.
In general, set your scanner settings so they accommodate most of the documents being scanned using the selected scan profile. Scanning users can override a profile's scanner settings without changing the profile, then select the profile again at any time to reload the default profile settings.
Follow these steps to set a selected scan profile to import rather than scan images.
Using the Kofax Source Manager (KSM), define a disk source. Use the KSM (32-bit) icon in the Control Panel. Refer to your Kofax documentation for instructions on setting up a disk source. Scan supports multiple disk sources.
