ScanSnap Creates empty Evernote document

[Avey 2]

I had been using my Fujitsu S1500 to scan documents and notes into legacy Evernote. All was fine. Then about 2 months ago my Windows 10 machine froze up. The  C drive holding all the programs was damaged as well as my backup disk. I put new disks in the machine and downloaded some of the apps. Now when I use the latest ScanSnap app to send scanned docs to the most current Evernote, Evernote acknowledges the  event, shows a document was received in the inbox but the document is always empty. Questions: 

1. Will Scansnap work with the latest release of Evernote? The pre-crash copy of Evernote I had used was at least 2 years old(Legacy).

2. I've tried multiple settings in ScanSnap. Nothing works. Any suggestions.

 

Thank you.

Hi.  Sounds like you issue may be more to do with using the latest Fujitsu software with a 'legacy' ScanSnap S1500.  I use the same model with Evernote Legacy and it's doing fine with ScanSnap Manager 5.5.  There doesn't seem to have been a relevant update for this model since then - though I know that there is more recent software.  I'd suggest you have a chat with Fujitsu Support.

This page shows the latest software for the S1500 scanner:

You find a note at the bottom of the table that the auto-update does not work for this scanner !

Personally I am using the ix500 scanner, with ScanSnap Manager 7.something and the EN Import folders (EN 10.34).

I think the Import folder process works generally better, because I can rename the file before it is send to EN. The file name will become the new notes title. I avoid rework by properly naming the scanned file before importing.

Many thanks. The scanned documents now show up correctly.
