Globodox uses Scan Profile to simplify the process of scanning documents. Scan Profile is a collection of frequently used settings which can be saved and reused to scan a document. Instead of specifying these settings every time you scan and save a document, you can specify these settings once and save them as a Scan Profile. Documents can be of several types (e.g. Color photographs, Black & White text etc.). The settings required to scan and save a black and white text document are very different from the settings required to scan and save a color photograph. Therefore, different Scan Profiles are required to correctly scan and save different types of documents.

For example:
Let's say on a daily basis you scan all the Invoices you receive, as Black & White PDF and all the Agreements as Color Tiff. You can create two Scan Profiles - one for scanning your Invoices and another for scanning the Agreements. Now, all you need to do is select the appropriate Scan Profile and click the Start Scan button to begin the scan process.

You can create as many Scan Profiles as you want.
 

To Save the Frequently used Scan Settings as Scan Profile

1.In Globodox, select the Home tab and click the Scan button. This will bring up the Scan Window.
2.Click the Settings tab to create a Scan Profile.
3.Click the New button besides the Select a scan profile box. Now, enter a name for the new profile in the Select a scan profile box.
4.Select a scanner from the Select a Scanner drop down.
5.Once you have specified the scan settings then click the Save button besides the Select a scan profile box to save the Scan Profile.
The Scan Profile will now be listed in the Select a scan profile drop-down.

By default the following Scan Profiles are available...

Black & White - A4 - PDF - 150 DPI: Use this Scan Profile to scan a single page document as a black & white PDF document at 150 DPI.
Black & White - A4 - PDF - 150 DPI - Multi-Page: Use this Scan Profile to scan a multi-page document as a single black & white PDF document at 150 DPI.
OCR Friendly: Use this scan profile if you want to OCR the document after the scan.
Grayscale - PNG - 200 DPI: Use this Scan Profile to scan a single page document as a grayscale PNG document at 200 DPI.

You can also create profiles which stores information about the document like its Document Type, its Stack and its folder which can be saved and reused. These profiles are called as Destination Profiles. Thus by using Scan Profiles and Destination Profiles you can automate your scanning process.
