Kofax Express Getting Started Guide

Kofax Express comes with two predefined scan profiles:

„

Default: This profile supports excellent image quality for most document types.

„

Automatic: This profile is optimized for use on high performance computers,
and it also supports excellent image quality for most document types.

Each time you connect to a scanner, the predefined scan profiles are refreshed with
the appropriate settings. Scan profiles help save time, because they give you a
convenient way to save and reuse preferred scan settings. For more information, see
the Working with Scan Profiles topic in the Help.
