Brother ADS-4100 Desktop Document Scanner A4 Duplex 35ppm 60-Sheet ADF USB 3.0 Scan to USB Host

The Brother ADS-4100 is a desktop A4 document scanner that scans both sides of each page in one pass at up to 35 pages per minute, made for a single workstation in an office, practice or accounts department that digitises paperwork every day. It connects to one PC or Mac over SuperSpeed USB 3.0. It is the simplest model in Brother's ADS-4000 desktop family and shares its feeder, speed and image processing with the networked ADS-4500W.

Its 60-sheet feeder accepts plain, thin, thick and recycled paper, business cards and plastic cards including embossed ones, and a USB host port on the back can save scans straight to a flash drive. It has no display or network connection, which keeps it simple and lower in cost than the networked models in the same family. Brother iPrint&Scan software creates searchable PDF, Word and Excel files and can send them to folders, email or cloud services from the PC, and Brother's ScanEssentials Lite adds batch and document-management tools on Windows. Automatic blank-page removal, punch-hole removal, background removal and colour dropout clean up scans before they reach your archive. At 2.60 kg and with a fold-away feeder, it sits comfortably beside a monitor on a standard office desk.

• Brother ADS-4100 scanner
• Detachable ADF
• AC adapter and power supply cord
• USB cable
• Quick setup guide, product safety guide and warranty information

• 35 ppm one-sided and 70 images per minute two-sided handles a 60-sheet double-sided stack in about two minutes. That makes it fast enough for a single user who scans throughout the day.
• USB 3.0 keeps large colour scans moving quickly to the PC; it also works on USB 2.0 ports at lower speed. Use a port directly on the computer rather than a hub for best results.
• The rear USB host port scans straight to a flash drive of up to 128 GB, even without starting software on the PC.
• Documents from 50.8 x 50.8 mm up to 215.9 x 355.6 mm and paper from 40 to 200 g/m2 cover receipts through Legal-size pages.
• Plastic cards up to 1.32 mm embossed (1.10 mm flat) go through the feeder for ID and membership records.

• No network: other users cannot scan to it over Wi-Fi or Ethernet; choose the ADS-4500W for that.
• No touchscreen for scan-to-email or shared folders without a PC. Destinations are chosen in software on the connected computer.
• No flatbed for books or bound documents.
• No A3: maximum width is 215.9 mm.
• Photos and fragile originals are not suited to roller feeding.
