User configurations are stored on a portable storage device for reuse later on an imaging device. Methods and apparatus contemplate establishing an initial configuration of identity information about the user and then creating imaging preferences, such as duplexing, overlaying, and orienting options, for a to-be-imaged media. The initial configuration and the imaging preferences are stored on the portable storage device, such as a USB flash drive. Upon interfacing of the portable storage device with the imaging device, users are queried as to whether the stored imaging preferences are to be used in imaging the to-be-imaged media (such as by presentation of a dedicated icon). If so, a controller reads the stored imaging preferences from the portable storage device and images the media accordingly. In this manner, users are uniquely outfitted with configuration options to avoid generic settings of an imaging device generally configured at the time of device installation.
