Where Do Fujitsu fi Series Scanners Keep Profiles?

Where Fujitsu fi Series scanners keep profiles and settings via PaperStream on Windows and macOS today.

Last updated

fi Series scanners lean on PaperStream software. Drivers live in system data while batch profiles, destinations, and separation rules live in PaperStream Capture projects. Your images land wherever the active profile points.

That split mirrors ScanSnap yet with enterprise naming. Look for PFU and Fujitsu folders in AppData and ProgramData. Exact names carry release numbers, so treat version as part of the path. Back up both the profile exports and the scan folders. One without the other restores buttons with nowhere to save.

Where Fujitsu fi Series stores this, by platform

Windows
%appdata%\PFU\PaperStream

Profiles and settings live under PFU and Fujitsu names here. Scans follow the PaperStream profile destination, often Documents. Match releases before importing profiles.

macOS
~/Documents/PaperStream (profiles vary by release)

PaperStream Capture projects hold profiles and destinations. Scans default to Documents unless a profile targets cloud or SharePoint. Export profiles before upgrading releases.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move fi Series profiles to a new PC?

Export profiles from PaperStream Capture or Capture Pro, then copy the export plus your scans to the new PC. Driver settings live in AppData and ProgramData with Fujitsu and PFU names. Match PaperStream releases before import, since schemas differ.

PaperStream or PaperStream Capture?

PaperStream IP drivers handle the hardware while PaperStream Capture holds batch profiles and destinations. Scans land where the profile points, often Documents. Check the profile destination when files seem missing, since one button can target SharePoint while another targets local folders.
