Picked up an ix500 scansnap and wondering about suggested workflows for going paperless. My intention is to scan a bunch of documents, but haven't delved deeply into how this will actually flow on the software level. I know I'll need to OCR the scanned documents, and my base setup is:

Pi with SSD storage running compose version of Paperless-ngx to filesystem mounted folders.

Folders can also be accessed over Samba

ix500 statically assigned over wifi as network scanner.

A literal filing cabinet, for things I should keep physically.

Ubuntu computer for browsing

I feel a bit overwhelmed, but am excited to get started. Will be scanning personal document, work docs, whatever else I need to digitize and recycle. All suggestions appreciated!

paperless treats it as a single ASN number row and reports the highest used.

This is OK as long as you consistently use the QR codes to assign ASNs.

Yeah, I'm totally fine with it. If the QR is read (sometimes it fails) I just type it in manually, usually the number next to the QR is readable on the scan. Not totally ideal, but closest way to have separate binders I think.

I just have to carefully count the zeros... 😅
