It’s perfect! Do you guys already do this?
I open a letter, I take it’s picture with FairScan. The FairScan-folder on my android device gets syncthinged to the ingest folder for Paperless-ngx on my “server”. Paperless imports it, deletes the file and sets the new documents tag to inbox. I decide if the document goes to the binder for important stuff, or if I just toss it in a binder with all the paper I most likely will never touch again. Next time I look at Paperless, I edit all documents with the inbox tag and remove the tag.
I do something similar but with the ADF scanner on my Brother printer. The scans automatically go to my server which processes them: deskew, combine with previous scan if it has the same amount of pages (because it might be me scanning the front pages first then the back pages), compress. After that, it’s put on my NAS. I left the step of importing it to paperless manual, in that I have to copy or move the file from the Scan directory on my NAS to the Paperless ingest directory. This is so that I can first check if the scan came out okay.
I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.
Similar approach here:
It doesn’t take more than 10 seconds to scan a doc this way.
