Grooper is designed to extract information from documents. There are a few ways to bring documents into Grooper, but one of the most common methods is scanning documents directly into Grooper. Using Grooper Desktop and the Grooper Web Client 2023, you can easily scan in documents and change scanner settings with the use of '''Scanner Profiles'''.

	You may also apply an '''IP Profile''' or '''Separation Profile''' when scanning in documents. ~~However~~, ~~there may be times where you may prefer to apply~~ an '''IP Profile''' or '''Separation Profile''' at a ~~later~~ step in the '''Batch Process'''.		You may also apply an '''IP Profile''' or '''Separation Profile''' when scanning in documents.

			Applying an '''IP Profile''' at scan-time permanently applies image processing commands as pages are fed into the scanner.
			* Commonly, these '''IP Profiles''' will clean up defects arising from scanning, such as correcting skew, removing borders and fixing misaligned pages.
			* '''''BE AWARE:''''' Applying '''IP Profiles''' at scan-time is more inefficient than applying an '''IP Profile''' with a separate '''''Image Processing''''' step in a '''Batch Process'''. The '''''Image Processing''''' activity can take full advantage of your computer's resources. It will run multithreaded and '''IP Commands''' will run more efficiently and effectively due to Grooper's AVX hardware acceleration.

			Applying a '''Separation Profile''' at scan-time separates pages into folders as they are fed into the scanner.
			* Separating pages into folders is a critical step in Grooper's document processing. Pages in a folder are effectively what Grooper considers a "document".
			* Commonly, separator sheets like Grooper '''Control Sheets''' are used to separate documents with these '''Separation Profiles'''
			* '''''BE AWARE:''''' Only a limited number of '''''Separation Providers''''' can be used to separate documents at scan-time. The '''''Control Sheet''''' provider and most configurations of the '''''Event-Based''''' provider may be used.

	'''Scanner Profiles''' are objects that store different scanner settings. These profiles can then be selected while in "Scan View". When you select a '''Scanner Profile''' it overrides the default scanner settings in Grooper Desktop. For example, if you set up one '''Scanner Profile''' to scan double sided (duplex), and another to scan single-sided (simplex), you can switch between the two depending on the documents you need to scan.
