Paperless-ngx + ScanSnap iX1600. Works with a samba share that is very easy to set up in Linux these days. Fast, easy, and you can have different scan profiles to set the destination folder. Push a button for the type and a button to scan. Paperless-ngx automatically files and tags reliably. It is saving me hours per week in filing. Can't recommend it enough. This is a personal system -- not sure how it would scale to 100k - 1M+.
- WXLCKNO 3y agoAlmost 600 Canadian for that scanner. Is it mainly that's it's incredibly fast and can go through a stack of pages?
- daveguy 3y agoFast, stack of pages, but also compatibility with different destination types, ease of setup, and no cloud account required (looking at you Raven) and your PC doesn't have to be on for network scans (direct, not passthrough). But yes, the scanner is pricey. It was definitely an investment.
- kstrauser 3y agoI've had an iX500 for a few years. You're right, and it's also a complete tank. I deployed several of them to a doctor's office that had to scan lots of paperwork every day, and they all worked perfectly all the time, every time. They're the Brother laser printer of scanners.
- xattt 3y agoI’ve got an ix500 and I’m suffering for no SMB support. The only thing that comes to mind is either do a convoluted SnapScan Online -> Google Drive -> rclone -> Paperless or bite the bullet and figure out how to directly scan into the local box via USB.
- zuhsetaqi 3y agoFor the ix1600 they updated the Firmware to support SMB. Source (German): https://www.synology-forum.de/threads/dokumentenscanner-direkt-an-nas-anschliessen.122697/#post-1091495 https://www.synology-forum.de/threads/dokumentenscanner-dire...
