Thanks, I’ll look into it. For completionists: This is the article about how to properly archive paper: https://peelarchivesblog.com/2024/09/10/how-do-archivists-package-things-the-battle-of-the-boxes/

Thanks, this sounds really useful. Patch T sounds like some manual sorting work, but I guess with the option to reuse those separator pages it is still better than manual splitting or - worse - single scanning.

I haven’t looked into paperless-ai yet, but I hope my machine would be beefy enough for this task — worst case I guess it might take a little longer to process all docs.

Now I only still need to decide on a good archiving method. I read some article a long time ago about the pros and cons of different document archiving methods used by professional archivers. Some prefer horizontal stacking in boxes, while others prefer vertical stacks in vertical boxes. Pretty interesting nerdy topic 😀

Interesting approach with the ASN — haven’t started using that feature yet. If I understand correctly, you add a QR ASN to each document you need to keep a physical copy of? And that sticker also has the ASN in human readable form? So you would then add many documents at once to the feeder, and Paperless will read the QR and also split documents whenever a new code appears?

What about documents you don’t want to keep physically? Is there a way to get Paperless to split them automatically as well if you add many to the feeder?
