Configure ScanSnap Home to scan to Evernote
After you download and install ScanSnap Home, but before you can begin scanning and saving to Evernote, you must configure your ScanSnap Home settings.

Note: If this is your first time scanning using this software, you will be prompted to sign into your ScanSnap account. After signing in, close the Account window to return to ScanSnap Home and click the blue Scan button again. |
