I'm not sure what you mean. For creating scanner profiles one usually
scans a scan calibration test chart, such as one of the charts
shown here <file:///D:/src/argyll/doc/Scenarios.html#PS2>.

Also, when looking at profile options, I fail to find an option to not
create the B2A tables since an input profile only has A2B tables.

Because the .ti3 data is labelled appropriately by the scanin utility,
profile knows it's a scanner profile, and creates the appropriate
profile and tables. Naturally a lot of the printer specific options are
ignored.

See <file:///D:/src/argyll/doc/Scenarios.html#PS4>
