ScanSnap Profiles – Scanning to Folder in Snow Leopard

UPDATE: Make sure you are running the latest version of ScanSnap Manager v. 22L11. You can download it from Fujitsu here.

So a lot of Mac users who use a Fujitsu ScanSnap are having problems once upgrading to Snow Leopard. The main problem seems to be the upgrade breaks the ability to scan to a folder from the Quick Menu. While there is a workaround to the problem, we’ve found that not using the Quick Menu and using Profiles to scan to a folder is not only a fix to the problem, it’s the most efficient way of scanning your documents.

Larry Port, co-founder of RocketMatter, mentioned this tip and there were a lot of questions on Twitter asking how to set up these profiles. So since I can’t attend MILOfest due to my ankle, I decided to create a quick screencast showing you how to set up profiles in the ScanSnap Manager so you can go back to scanning to folders like a pro. I hope this helps everyone. You may download a higher resolution version here.
