I have dedicated scanners at my 2 business locations with shortcuts to SFTP scans onto the server. paperless-ngx monitors the folder and automatically ingests the document. literally just two button presses and any document is digitized, tagged, OCRd, and archived within about a minute. I have the scanners set the file name based on their location so I can tell at a glance where something came from in the paperless inbox view.

Any suggestion for a scanner for this purpose?

Take a look at full-duplex multifunctional printers, many times they are cheaper than standalone scanners. Just as an example, a black and white laser like the Brother MFC-L2820DW should last you a long time.

Well, at least it'd be "good enough" to get your feet wet, so to speak - and also give you the ability to test if you're going to stick to it.

I got a Brother ADS-4300N to use with p-ngx, works very well and also is way faster than the usual document scanners on MF printers (duplex is done in one pass, for example)...
