							Define the scan job preferences and scan templates
Introduction
Here you can define the general scan job settings and four scan templates.
What you need to know about scan templates
Scan templates enable you to easily perform scan jobs that you do very often. The job
templates appear on the user panel when you select 'SCAN'.
With a scan template you can pre-define the settings you need for a scan job. You only
need to set the job settings once and you can store the settings in a job template that is
presented on the user panel. You can re-use the job template for each next job without
the need to redefine all the settings every time. The user panel offers 4 job templates for
scan jobs.
The job template function supports the green button approach: the user only needs to
select a template and start a job with the required settings instead of having to define all
the settings manually for every job.
Note:
When you select a scan template on the user panel, you can still change the individual
values of al settings.
Note:
Before you can edit a setting or a settings group, you must log on as a Key operator.
