How can I set up Paperless to work with Lion (10.7) and my ScanSnap scanner?
Here is how to create a ScanSnap Manager Profile for Paperless:
-
Choose Settings in the ScanSnap Manager.
A window appears.
-
Make sure "Use Quick Menu" is unchecked.
-
From the profile pop-up menu on the far right - either select Scan to Paperless, or click on the menu and select "Add Profile".
-
A dialog appears where you can type a name for the profile, name it "Scan To Paperless"
-
Now from the main window, select the Application tab.
-
Under Application: click the "Add" button and add the Paperless Application.
-
Chose the Scanning tab.
-
Choose image quality "best" for good results.
-
Choose color mode; "auto color or B&W - depending on what you are scanning. for most purposes B&W is sufficient.
-
Choose the File Option tab.
-
Select PDF from the menu if it isn't already selected.
-
Click the Option button, a window appears.
-
Generally, users will want to select "generate one PDF file per: "1" page(s). this will scan each page into a separate item - prior to 10.7 this could be dynamically set from paperless.

Choose the "Save" tab.
-
Select an image saving folder, typically you'll want to select:
/Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Paperless/Scans
