Changing Users in order to Display the User's Own Profiles

Method for displaying profiles

Select a method for displaying profiles in the [Display of profiles] screen that can be displayed after displaying the [Settings] screen and then the [Scanner settings] screen on the touch panel.

Each method for displaying profiles is as follows:

Selected user

Displays profiles created only with the computer that is connected with the ScanSnap. However, a profile that is linked with a cloud service by using ScanSnap Cloud is not displayed, if the setting for [Wi-Fi connect mode] in [Wi-Fi settings] in the [Settings] screen on the touch panel is set other than [Access point connection].

If a user name is displayed at the top of the home screen on the touch panel, pressing a user icon displays the [Selecting a User] screen and allows you to change the user to display profiles. Selecting a user name changes the current computer to the computer that you want to connect the ScanSnap to.

A user icon and user name are displayed in the following cases:

• [Access point connection] or [Direct connection] is set for [Wi-Fi connect mode] in [Wi-Fi settings] in the [Settings] screen on the touch panel

• Two or more history records of computers that have been connected to the ScanSnap before exist

HINT

• In the [Selecting a User] screen that is displayed by pressing a user icon, [All cloud users] may be displayed as a user name.

  If you select [All cloud users], only profiles that are linked with cloud services by using ScanSnap Cloud are displayed. For the profiles that are displayed, scan settings for the profiles that are created on a mobile device which uses the ScanSnap Cloud application are included.

All users

Displays all profiles created with computers that have been connected to the ScanSnap before in the profile list on the touch panel and in the scan window.

All users can use the ScanSnap without the need to select a user.

Connected user

Displays profiles in the profile list on the touch panel as long as the ScanSnap is connected with the computer. However, a profile that is linked with a cloud service by using ScanSnap Cloud is not displayed.

This method offers a good level of security because profiles are not displayed on the touch panel when the ScanSnap and computer are disconnected.

To change the user to display profiles, reconnect the ScanSnap and computer via a USB cable or Wi-Fi.

Changing the method for displaying profiles

Change the method for displaying profiles in the profile list on the touch panel and in the scan window.

   • If the method was changed from [All users] to [Selected user] or from [Selected user] to [All users]

     Profiles other than the profiles that are linked with a cloud service by using ScanSnap Cloud are deleted.

   • If the method was changed to [Connected user] or the method was changed from [Connected user]

     All profiles are deleted.

   Note that even if profiles displayed on the touch panel are deleted, information of the profiles that are managed in ScanSnap Home is not deleted.

5. Press to display the home screen.

If a [Launch the software on the device and connect it to the ScanSnap.] message is displayed on the touch panel, connect the ScanSnap and a computer.

When the ScanSnap and the computer are connected, profiles displayed in the profile list on the touch panel and in the scan window will be changed according to the method for displaying profiles that you have set.
