Picked up an ix500 scansnap and wondering about suggested workflows for going paperless. My intention is to scan a bunch of documents, but haven’t delved deeply into how this will actually flow on the software level. I know I’ll need to OCR the scanned documents, and my base setup is:
- Pi with SSD storage running compose version of Paperless-ngx to filesystem mounted folders.
- Folders can also be accessed over Samba
- ix500 statically assigned over wifi as network scanner.
- A literal filing cabinet, for things I should keep physically.
- Ubuntu computer for browsing
I feel a bit overwhelmed, but am excited to get started. Will be scanning personal document, work docs, whatever else I need to digitize and recycle. All suggestions appreciated!
It also does work without those sticker by just putting every document chronologically in a folder. New ones come on the top and if you need a document, you can get the date from paperless. Since most documents have a date printed on them and most people are not getting thousands of letters every year, you will find the document
That’s true, but the stickers weren’t much work so I figured I’d try them out.
