Changing Users in order to Display the User's Own Profiles
When multiple users share a single ScanSnap unit, you can change the methods for displaying profiles in the profile list on the touch panel and in the scan window.
One method is to display profiles created only with the computer that is connected with the ScanSnap, and another method is to display profiles created with all computers that have been connected to the ScanSnap before. Either method can be selected.
To display profiles created only with a computer that is connected to the ScanSnap, select a user name on the touch panel so that the computer connected with the ScanSnap is changed to another computer.
When changing the computer connected to the ScanSnap, profiles displayed in the profile list are changed to profiles created only with the computer that is connected to the ScanSnap.
If you use a computer that is used by other users who use their accounts to access the ScanSnap, and if you change the user account on the computer, you also need to change the user on the ScanSnap.
