minus-squarePlutoniumAcid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·edit-29 months agoBrother ADS-1700W is amazing! no PC or USB required: place it anywhere WiFi scans a page double-sided to PDF in two seconds! sends file to network share, ready to be consumed by Paperless fully automatic, no button presses needed! tiny footprint document feeder use with separator pages to bulk-scan many documents in one go 😍
minus-squarek4j8@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·9 months agoI have this scanner and agree it works great, although there may be cheaper options out there that also work well. FTP worked well out of the box. For SFTP on Arch Linux, I had to follow the troubleshooting instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon#LIST_command_resets_connection.

minus-squarezaphod@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 months agoIf you have an Android phone I can’t recommend Genius Scan enough. Fast, accurate, lots of features. I use it with syncthing by exporting the files to a folder that’s configured to sync the paperless input folder.
