6C. Manage Scanner Presets
Presets. A Preset is a group of settings that are saved together under one name. All settings in this
window will save with the preset name currently displayed. The preset name can be changed by simply
highlighting the text and typing a new name. The "Default" name can also be changed. You may create
multiple presets by clicking the "New" button. A new name of "Preset 2" will be created. Again, you
may change this name by simply typing a new name. Once a second Preset is created you will have the
option to set that preset as the default . Check the box next to "Use this preset as default when the
Scan button is pressed."
