The Brother ADS-3100 High-Speed Desktop Color Scanner is a compact and versatile solution for mid-volume scanning in up to 600 x 600 dpi optical scan resolution. It provides an easy way to digitize almost any document. The ADS-3100 sends scans to your computer over High-Speed USB 3.0, or you can output your scans directly to an optional USB memory stick. An included software bundle lets you efficiently gather personal banking statements, curate family photos, index client invoices, track expenses, and more. The bundle features seven different applications, some for Mac, some for Windows, one for both (please see more about this below).
The small footprint of the ADS-3100 makes it ideal for small office and home office environments. The scanner handles a variety of document types, including invoices, receipts, photographs, and contracts. Scan stacks of up to 60 pages in the auto document feeder (ADF), and add more pages thanks to continuous scanning mode. The ADS-3100 is also capable of optimizing images and text for storage and classification. You can enhance your scans with automatic color detection/adjustment, image rotation (PC only), bleed-through/background removal, text enhancement, color drop out features, and more.
Other features include triple layer security that helps safeguard sensitive documents and securely connect to computers.
