Brother ADS-1700W is amazing!

  • no PC or USB required: place it anywhere
  • WiFi
  • scans a page double-sided to PDF in two seconds!
  • sends file to network share, ready to be consumed by Paperless
  • fully automatic, no button presses needed!
  • tiny footprint
  • document feeder
  • use with separator pages to bulk-scan many documents in one go

😍

I have this scanner and agree it works great, although there may be cheaper options out there that also work well.

FTP worked well out of the box. For SFTP on Arch Linux, I had to follow the troubleshooting instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon#LIST_command_resets_connection.

275€

Photos with my phone it is! Most documents I receive nowadays are digital anyway.

You are right, it's not cheap. I delayed buying one for literally years but once I did, it was a game changer.

I'm in the same boat, but didn't jump so yet. I've been following paperless for a while now but every time I look at scanners I'm blown away by their prices...
