The Evernote app interface has undergone significant changes and as such, some of the screenshots and processes you see here are outdated. I am working on revising this shortly
Evernote is all buzz at the moment! It’s a tool which essentially allows you to easily curate digital information (in the form of notes) from the web as well as create your own notes, and keep your note[books] in synch on multiple platforms and devices – Android, iOS, BlackBerry and Palm. Evernote has functionality that allows you to scan documents directly to your Evernote library. Unfortunately sending scanned documents directly from the copiers to your Evernote email address does not work from within school. The copiers have been configured to scan to internal FirstClass email addresses only. This short guide uses a workaround and goes through the process of using the FujiXerox copiers to scan notes directly into an Evernote notebook, as well as at the same time, assign tags to your note. The scanned document is sent to your FirstClass email account, forwarded to Evernote via the FirstClass message rule, and then deleted from FirstClass, so it doesn’t take up precious disk quota within your FirstClass mailbox.
Pre-requisites
- You must have an Evernote account
- The notebook you are scanning to must exist within your Evernote library
- The tags you are applying must exist within your Evernote library
- You must setup a message rule within FirstClass which will forward any tagged documents to Evernote
Step 1 — Creating a Message Rule in FirstClass
- In FirstClass, click on the FirstClass menu and select Preferences
- Click on the Messaging tab, and ensure that the Mail Rules sub-tab is selected
- Click on the Mailbox Rules button and then New Advanced Rule button
- You can find your Evernote email address by clicking on the Current Monthly Usage indicator from within the Evernote application. Ensure that your settings are similar to the screenshot below
