Scansnap IX500 and Evernote Tutorial

Are you looking to streamline your document scanning process with the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 and integrate it seamlessly with Evernote? Look no further! In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to get started with the ScanSnap ix500 and Evernote.

Firstly, let's address a few observations about the ScanSnap ix500. If you're using a Mac, be aware that the bundled software disc only includes a driver for MacBook Air or MacBook Pro without optical drives. However, you can still rename and file your scanned documents manually.

On a positive note, Fujitsu has recently upgraded the iX 500's firmware/software to enable wireless scanning to PCs and Macs. This feature works well, but it may take some time getting used to due to the generic names assigned to files based on the time of scanning.

For organization purposes, all new documents are stored in a flat folder and get tagged based on their content. To take your document management to the next level, consider using doo (doo.net) as your go-to software.

The main issue with ordinary scanning software is that you're required to manually rename and file your documents after scanning. This can be time-consuming and may not be as efficient as other options. For this reason, I ended up investing in a Samsung 2875FW scanner which directly scans to either of my machines.

Another limitation of the ScanSnap ix500 is its inability to scan via WLAN, which was a major requirement for me due to the need to connect to computers and have it sit away from the computers. Despite this, I still chose not to justify the cost of a separate scanner when I had to get a new printer anyway.

Now that we've covered some of the limitations, let's dive into how you can integrate your ScanSnap ix500 with Evernote for seamless document management.

By following these steps, you'll be able to efficiently scan and manage your documents using the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 and Evernote. Whether you're a busy professional or a student looking to stay organized, this tutorial has got you covered!
