Scanning Station stores three kinds of internal data on each machine:
  • Scanned document images.
  • Rules for separating images into documents and batches.
  • Batch-type parameters for scanning, processing, and exporting.

​
Default location

By default, data is stored alongside the application settings for the current user: 
%LOCALAPPDATA%\ABBYY\ScanStationVantage\5.0

​
Change the storage path

To store data somewhere else, add a registry value:
  1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ABBYY\ScanStationVantage\5.0\Shell.
  3. Create a new String Value named CustomDataFolder.
  4. Set its value data to the path you want — for example, D:\ScanStationData.

​
Credential roaming

When Scanning Station runs in a credential-roaming profile, keep internal data at the default path: %LOCALAPPDATA%\ABBYY\ScanStationVantage\5.0
