If I’m wrong and your printer does-in fact-offer the ability to scan something from the printer and have it emailed directly somewhere (without using a computer to assist), then you can still get this to work. I might be missing something, but I do not believe your particular printer offers a “scan a document and email it somewhere as an attachment” feature (surprising given that the above list of likely supported was copied directly from Brother’s website). My Mail::Message $forward = $msg->forwardAttach(To => Subject=>"Scaned Item #$tag", preamble => $newBody) # Compose and forward a new message from the new message (sans deleted parts), new blank message body My $newBody = Mail::Message::Body->new(data => " ") # Split the user name part of the "to" address into a notebook name and tag name (format is $notebook, my $tag) = split(/\+/,$to_address,2) # Grab the user part of the first "to" address # Grab the list of "to" addresses on the email
My $from_line = <> # usually added by the local MTAThe odds of a spammer guessing your subdomain are pretty low, though. This script doesn't remove all non-essential parts of these mail messages, but most MFPs emails are sparse anyway. Any special characters you use in your notebook and tag names must be valid characters in email addresses. This isn't a hard problem to solve but I'm lazy and I only need one tag. # There's a number of limitations with this script, including: Configure your printer to send emails where is the desired notebook name and is the desired tag. Create a subdomain (such as en.) and pipe all of the email going to this subdomain to this script. Upload it to your server and give it the necessary permissions for execution. Configure your Evernote email address on line 46. # This script is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. So here’s a (really kludgy) script I wrote. In short: Email to -> perl script changes subject to “Scanned Item #Receipts” and removes the text of the body -> perl script forwards the email to am I using a sub-domain? It’s the easiest way to get flexibility on the “to” address without mucking with the rest of my email. Add an intermediary script that receives the message, looks at a crafted “to” address, rewrites the message, and forwards it on to Evernote. So, how can we specify the notebook and tags with our one-touch buttons?Įasy.
In fact, the only thing you can do on a message-by-message basis is specify the destination email address and the file type. There’s only one problem: The Brother allows you to specify the email subject, but only globally. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to have several buttons on the control panel, each corresponding to different notebooks and tags? For instance, it would be nice to scan something directly to my notebook with a tag such as #Receipts, #Taxes, #Bills, etc. You can specify the destination notebook and tags in the subject of the email, using the format “My note title #tag”.
A set of “one touch” buttons on the control panel make it easy to send your documents to one of twenty email addresses.Įvernote allows you to email the documents of your choice to a unique email address associated with your account.
HOW TO SET MY BROTHER MFC J5910DW PRINTER TO COLOR PDF
(Okay, so it’s hardware is a little cheap and the software was clearly designed by and for engineers, but hey… it gets the job done.) One of the nice things about the Brother is that it features a high-capacity sheet-fed duplex scanner that emails PDF documents to the addressee of your choice. I have a Brother MFC-9970CDW, a wonderful multi-function color laser printer (aka a MFP or MFC). I follow Bobby Travis’s approach to using Evernote to Get Things Done (GTD). I use Evernote and it totally rocks my world.
