For whatever reason, I have not written about Nuance PaperPort before. I will have to rectify that, but in the meantime I will answer a question that I receive quite a bit: “How do I use the Fujitsu ScanSnap to scan to PaperPort?”
There are a number of ways to do this, but I will take you through what I consider the easiest.
First, we want to create a PaperPort Profile in ScanSnap Manager, so right-click on the ScanSnap icon in the System Tray and choose Scan Button Settings.
Next, we want to create a new Profile, so go up to the Profile box on the right and at the bottom of the list, choose Add Profile… Give it a name like “PaperPort”, or whatever you’d like.
On the Application tab, if it is not already set, choose None (Scan To File).
On the Save tab, click on the Browse… button and navigate to the folder called My PaperPort Documents, which should be under your Documents or My Documents folder.
Set the rest of the Profile settings however you’d like, and then hit OK to save.
Now when you scan a document with this Profile, it will save it to My PaperPort Documents, which is a built-in folder for PaperPort.
In PaperPort itself, you can see that once you scan something, it will appear in that folder.
Do you use a different method to scan to PaperPort with your ScanSnap? Feel free to leave a comment and let us know.
