Good afternoon Jeffrey Thank you for your reply. And thank you too for your work on gscan2pdf.
I have only recently started using gscan2pdf, and I may have a misunderstanding about how profiles should be used. Following is the way I assumed I could use them: (1) Suppose I always want to scan business cards with 24bit colour, 200 dpi, flat-bed, 90mm x 60mm. (2) I have just been scanning A4 pages with gray scale, 150 dpi, adf central align, 210 x 297 mm (3) I assume I can re-load a previously saved profile, called "business card", which will set everything to my desired values. (4) But it can't, because when I saved "business card" profile, it did not record mode or resolution, as they were already 24bit colour and 200 dpi when I saved it. (5) I can make it save mode and resolution in the "business card" profile by making sure I change every setting before saving the "business card" profile, but that seems more awkward than it should be. I intend to use the scanner frequently, to scan and store routine documents, so I seek the quickest way to set the desired options for each document type. I have submitted a related bug report about failure to set geometry to 90mm x 60mm, although these values are recorded in the profile. This may also be a misunderstanding on my part. My scanner is brother MFC-8890DW. It shows only a few settings: mode, resolution, source (flatbed, adf, etc), geometry. Perhaps a partial solution might be to save only the common options, or those not requiring a restart. I am willing to devote some time to experimenting with settings and options, if that will assist you. Thank you Gerry
