Out-of-the-box scanning with Fujitsu ScanSnap

My Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner has come in handy more times than I can count. It lets me digitize all kinds of paper (including things you might not even think of), making it easier for me to find whatever documents I might need later on.
Here’s a short list of the things I’ve scanned just over the last few months:

  • Maintenance records for home repairs
  • Business expense receipts, to help me prepare my tax return
  • ID cards of all kinds – health insurance, driver’s license, etc.
  • All the contents of my wallet, to allow for easier replacement in case the wallet gets lost or stolen
  • Receipts for high-end purchases, for insurance purposes
  • Deposited checks
  • Receipts for clothing items I may want to return
  • Favorite birthday and other greeting cards
  • New appliance receipts
  • Business cards
  • Agendas and handouts from meetings
  • Recipes from cooking magazines
  • Theater and concert tickets
  • Mementos from my favorite family trips.

Most of these items have gone into either Evernote or Dropbox, depending on what I use them for.
What have you used your ScanSnap for? I’d love to hear about it – the more unusual, the better!
