To create a new user:User preference settings let you save, recall, and apply entire sets of Document Indexer and scanning preferences. This feature is handy if numerous people share a computer, or if the same computer is used for different types of scanning tasks.
You can create a user preference setting named for different users or scanning jobs. For example, the user setting named "Invoices" might set the Document Indexer for Full Page Layout display, with a thumbnails display setting of Optimize, and scanner settings of 200 dpi in black and white. The user setting named "HR Dept" might be set to make 96 dpi color scans of personnel portraits, use a thumbnail display type of Normal, and configure the screen display using the Document Indexer's Alternate Layout.
When you select a user, all the preference settings the user last used are immediately applied. The settings that get applied include annotation settings, scanning settings, view and window settings, and so forth.

Enter a name that fully describes the person or the particular scanning task, for example, "Scan Barcodes."
