Profile

Each MFD is associated with a specific profile – parameters that define general GlobalScan
settings, such as MFD Reset Time, Keep-alive Timer, etc. The profile contains one or more
projects.

customers, while the Legal Department scans correspondence directly to a network folder, for
archival purposes. Each user simply accesses the appropriate project button on the MFD touch
screen, e.g., Email, Scan-to-Folder, etc. Of course, multiple GlobalScan services can be
combined under one project as well, so workflow design is very flexible.
If the MFD's profile contains only one project, the services associated with that project are
automatically pre-selected on the MFD. This means the Services screen appears, without
requiring the user to press a project button (see
