The side menu is created to bring additional convenience to the application interface and for a quicker access to the frequently used functions.
The appearance of the menu depends on the interface settings located in the File menu > Options > General tab > User Interface Settings section.
By default, the interface is set in such a way that not all, but only the most frequently used buttons are displayed in the menu.
For more details on side menu settings, see the Side Menu Interface section.

By default, the Capture to Clipboard button is hidden. To make the button visible, please enter the File menu > Options > General tab and set the Show Capture to Clipboard button setting.
The Capture to TWAIN, Capture to File and Capture to Clipboard buttons run the image processing process with subsequent saving of the results. Actions started with the buttons differ only by locations to which the processing results will be saved. Capture to TWAIN saves the processed image to the application with which the connection is established through the TWAIN driver. If the connection through the TWAIN driver is not established, the button will not be active. Capture to File saves the processing results to the specified place on the drive. Capture to Clipboard saves image to the clipboard.
You can read more details on the image processing methods in the Processing chapter.
The Rotate Right and Rotate Left buttons are provided to rotate the image 90 degrees to the right or to the left. The image rotation is displayed on the preview and is taken into account in processing.
The Update AE/AF button updates auto focus and auto exposition of the camera.
Please refer to the Update AE/AF section for more details.
The Camera Settings button starts a dialogue window which contains camera settings.

The Processing settings button calls up the ID Image Processing dialogue that contains all the settings regulating image processing: face detection settings, bounding box and subsequent framing settings, correction settings, resulting image size settings. In addition, a preview area is also provided in the dialogue; the preview allows you to see the image after processing with the current settings.
You can read more details on the ID Image Processing dialogue in the ID Image Processing dialogue section.

Then, the name of the specified profile will be displayed on the Profile button. To reset the profile, choose the Reset profile item from the menu. After that, the profile name will disappear from the Profile button. If the Reset profile item is not available in the menu, the profile for the current application session is not set.
