  <title>How do I assign profiles to devices?</title>

  <p>
    Open <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>,
    and click the device that you wish to add a profile to.
  </p>
  <p>
    By clicking <gui>Add profile</gui> you can select an existing
    profile or import a new file.
  </p>
  <p>
    Each device can have multiple profiles assigned to it, but only one
    profile can be the <em>default</em> profile.
    The default profile is used when there is no extra information to
    allow the profile to be chosen automatically.
    An example of this automatic selection would be if one profile was
    created for glossy paper and another plain paper.
  </p>

  <p>
    If calibration hardware is connected the <gui>Calibrate…</gui>
    button will create a new profile.
