Evernote and Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanners
Use your ScanSnap to digitize all the documents, receipts and business cards that clutter your desk and life. Set your ScanSnap to send those scans into Evernote, where they become instantly accessible and searchable from any device you use. Who knew that going paperless could be so easy?
Automatic Setup for Windows
Fujitsu created a special utility that sets up your ScanSnap Manager to work with Evernote. Please follow these instructions:
- Make sure you have the ScanSnap Manager software that came with your scanner installed
- Download the utility here.
- Unzip the package and run the ScanSnap - Evernote Profile
- Confirm that two new profiles were created in the ScanSnap Manager
That's it!

These steps will allow you to configure your Fujitsu ScanSnap to send scans directly into Evernote with a press of a button. First, sign up for a free Evernote account and download Evernote onto your desktop. Also, be sure to install the Fujitsu ScanSnap Manager software, and follow these instructions:
