krasher 1 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have a new HP 8615 printer with which I want to scan directly to Evernote like my old Lexmark did. Lexmark doesn't support that anymore. With HP I have ability to Scan to Network Folders. I set it up to scan to One Drive and then right click and send to Evernote. It works to get from Point A to B but I want to scan from ADF and have it sync automatically to Evernote. I want to avoid step 3 and go from Direct scan to Step 4. Any suggestions? Link to comment
JohnDM 122 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'll give this a shot-- Hi Krasher, this should work (I'm working on windows desk top, if that is not you, tell us what you got)You want to set up a folder in your computer somewhere that can be the "dump in-box" for scanned documents Go to the top menu bar and hit Tools -> Import Folders -> Add folder -> and go sellect your "dump in-box" folder Have you scanner print to that folder "dump in-box"The rest is automatic -- Evernote will fetch all the documents in that import folder and put them inside Evernote I haven't tried it but network folders should work . . .I think Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,137 Posted August 16, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted August 16, 2014 If there are any problems using the network folder as an Import Folder, you can always make one extra step - I always scan to a non-import folder for the times when I need to rotate a document / add to file names / merge or split files. When I finish scanning I do a batch OCR on all the files and drag and drop all of them into the Import Folder. If you're supremely efficient (or lazy) you can also use a file management tool like Belvedere to transfer files from one folder to another at specific times. Link to comment
krasher 1 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 John,Your suggestions sounds great. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to follow it. I'm using Win 8.1 on a desktop. When I go to tools I see nothing about import folders. What am I doing wrong? Vivian Link to comment

cacherjoe 0 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You don't have to do the "send-to". You can set Evernote to look to a specific folder for changes. My all-in-one won't scan to a network location like you suggest and I have to use the app that comes with the scanner. No big deal. I scan to a folder I call "Evernote Scans" and it automatically imports into the default folder in Evernote. By the Time I get to Evernote it is there waiting for me. Link to comment
